KUALA LUMPUR: A man known as “Broken Tooth”, said to be linked to fugitive businessman Datuk Seri Nicky Liow Soon Hee, is feared in the underworld as he was once the “dragon head” or kingpin of the notorious 14K triad in Macau.

The 65-year-old ex-triad leader, whose real name is Wan Kouk Koi, was said to have fought his way out of the slums in Macau to rise up the ranks in the underworld.
