Huang Na (Chinese: 黄娜; 27 September 1996 – 10 October 2004) was an eight-year-old Chinese national residing in Pasir Panjang, Singapore, who disappeared on 10 October 2004. Her mother, the police and the community conducted a three-week-long nationwide search for her. After her body was found, thousands of Singaporeans attended her wake and funeral, giving bai jin (白金) (contributions towards funeral expenses) and gifts. In a high-profile 14-day trial, Took Leng How (卓良豪; Zhuó Liángháo), a Malaysian vegetable packer at the estate's wholesale centre, was found guilty of murdering her and hanged on 3 November 2006 after an appeal and a request for presidential clemency failed.
