The executive director of Ban Hin Lee bank Mr Jimmy Yeap Leong Aun was shot dead on 25 October 1985 during a kidnap attempt by six men, four of whom were armed with pistols. One of the gunmen also died in the shootout which ensued after he and his accomplices failed to abduct Mr Yeap.
Mr Yeap, 36, who was shot twice in the chest -- one bullet piercing his heart -- died shortly on admission to the Penang Medical Centre, a short distance away from the scene. Jimmy was being driven to his office in Lebuh Pantai. However, on arrival at the Cantonment Road and Persiaran Gurney Traffic Intersection, a blue Volvo heading from the opposite direction cut into the path of Mr Yeapโs car. Sensing trouble, Yeapโs driver tried to reverse the car but was blocked by another Volvo.
Two men dashed out from the car in front and one of them threatened the driver with a gun while three others got out from the rear car. A shootout ensued.

Mr Yeap, who was in the back seat and armed with a .38 special, fired several shots and was believed to have hit one of the assailants. In the shootout, two shots hit Mr Yeap in the chest while several bullets lodged in the rear portion of his Jaguar and pierced the carโs roof. According to eyewitnesses, Mr Yeap resisted tenaciously when his assailants tried to drag him out of the car.

Jimmy Yeap was the second grandson of Yeap Chor Ee. Legend has it that Yeap got his personal pistol not long before the incident. After he got the gun he dismissed his bodyguards. According to the police, Yeap was using a .38 Smith and Wesson Special. [2]
