They originated as an offshoot of the Tiandihui(Chinese: "Heaven-Earth Society) secret society known as the Sanhehui(Chinese:"Three Harmonies Society") and this is where the name Triad comes from. Originally the Triad was not criminal, but turned to crime after being suppressed by the British in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia. They tapered off later in the 1800s as Chinese immigrants in Malaysia and Singapore turned to kongsi, or legal social clubs, for help.
