Alice Huang, tied to Nvidia CEO, was barred from re-entering Singapore since Feb

Singapore says its investigation of cloud-computing firm Megaspeed began in February 2025 and concerns suspected false declarations about server purchases and related offences. The servers were bought by companies under investigation, shipped through Singapore to Malaysia without entering the local market, and may have been sent onward to another destination contrary to declarations. Alice Huang, a Hong Kong resident and then a key controller of Megaspeed, was questioned because of her suspected involvement - not espionage, MHA stressed. Singapore first learned of US interest in the case when the US Bureau of Industry and Security conducted a post-shipment check at Megaspeed in June 2025. Police and prosecutors later sought records from the United States and other jurisdictions, including information about supplier Super Micro, but received little assistance. Without it, investigators said they lacked sufficient evidence to establish that Huang committed offences involving the suspected declarations.

Police nevertheless assessed that Huang knowingly gave inaccurate information to downplay her role. She received a stern warning and was barred from re-entering Singapore; after her passport was returned on Feb. 26, she left that day. Investigations into Megaspeed and six other people remain open, though none of the six has been in Singapore since the inquiry began. MHA said Singapore does not enforce other countries’ unilateral export controls, but expects businesses operating locally to account for them and will not tolerate fraud or dishonest conduct that uses Singapore to evade foreign rules. It cited charges against four individuals and four companies between February 2025 and July 2026, and said enforcement decisions will rest on Singapore law and available evidence, with cooperation abroad where appropriate.
