Film Industry

A Taiwanese triad  - the Bamboo Union - carried out the assassination of Henry Liu in California. Was that a precedent that could explain the murder of Haing Ngor?  That’s the question what Patricia Nunan went to Taipei to explore.

But Ngor wasn’t just doing business in Cambodia. He was an actor – active in in the Hong Kong and Taiwanese film industries. The movie business was deeply entangled with triads.

That’s how Nunan can connect some dots between Liu’s assassins and Ngor.  The result is a clearer picture of Ngor’s proximity to organized crime, as his financial life was in turmoil.
