Shui Fong

Shui Fong

Shui Fong (水房幫 - "Lit. Water Room Gang") is a Triad group. It originated from a workers' union of the legacy Hong Kong Soft drink company, Wo On Lok (和安樂). For this reason, Shui Fong is also known as Wo On Lok. They are one of the "Four Major Gangs" (四大黑幫) of Macau, the others being Wo Shing Yee, 14K and the Big Circle Gang. Shui Fong was allegedly involved in a fight for casinos in Macau during the 1990s. They were involved in a high profile gang war with a rival Triad group, the 14K (led in Macau by Wan Kuok-koi, or 'Broken Tooth Koi') during this period. Shui Fong is one of the Triad groups from South China, that are most important.
