Wang Sing-nan (Chinese: 王幸男; born 27 June 1941) is the caucus whip for the Democratic Progressive Party in the Legislative Yuan of the Republic of China on Taiwan.[1] He has represented the electoral district of Tainan City since February 2005.[2] On 10 October 1976, he sent a mail bomb to then-Governor of Taiwan Province Hsieh Tung-min, who suffered serious injuries to both hands as a result.[3] He was sentenced to life imprisonment for this and was imprisoned in the Green Island Prison until then-President Lee Teng-hui granted him clemency in 1990.
