Washington Post reported more information about the #721YuenLongTerrorAttack referenced from a newly released book "Among the Braves". The posted mentioned that there were 5 different triad groups involved in the attack. They had a WhatsApp group which the #HKPolice also had access to, however, the Police did nothing to stop them.
"The police also knew in advance that violence was likely in the neighborhood. A week prior, members of five separate triad groups joined a WhatsApp group to discuss plans to “defend their homeland,” Yuen Long. It was rare for these groups to come together, as they often clashed over their share of illicit business. As the triad groups coordinated their plans for July 21, a detective sergeant from the anti-triad bureau that oversaw the area was reading along. He had managed to gain access to the WhatsApp group chat, giving him unfettered insight into the plans."
The article also reported that Stephen Ng, political assistance to the mainland affairs mentioned about "wear white only" dress code.
"The government officials in attendance offered hints that the rumors had reached them, too. The political assistant to the secretary for mainland affairs had invited some others to join him at the banquet. He gave them a very specific dress code: Wear only white.”
