In this paper we are dealing with the question on what amenability property should possess a semigroup to ensure it has the Schauder fixed point property. We provide a positive answer to this problem for the class \(\Sigma \)-ELA of all n-extremely left amenable semitopological semigroups. As an application, we derive partial answers (for \(\Sigma \)-ELA, locally finite groups, and semidirect product of \(\Sigma \)-ELA semigroups) to an open problem posted by Lau in 1976 (Lau, Fixed point theory and its applications, Academic Press, Orlando, 1976)
