Police are looking for a 13-year-old girl who has been missing for over a week.

Shaik Saiwa Shaik Hanif, a pupil of Jiemin Primary School in Yishun Street 71, went missing last Thursday.

She was last seen near the school dressed in her uniform - a blouse with white and blue stripes and a blue skirt. Police said she is of average build, about 1.45m tall, with a fair complexion and shoulder-length hair.

Her father, Mr Shaik Hanif Shaik Mohd, 41, said she had run away from home a few times since she turned 12 in January last year, but this is the longest she has gone missing. Anyone with information can call the police on 1800-255-0000.
