Alice Huang barred from returning to Singapore after Megaspeed investigation

Singapore authorities have barred former Megaspeed chief Alice Huang from re-entering the country after issuing her a stern warning, according to a statement from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). The ministry said police concluded that she had given inaccurate information that understated her role at the company. The decision came after investigators reviewed suspected offences connected to Megaspeed, including possible inaccurate declarations involving server purchases. The MHA said evidence gathered so far was insufficient to determine whether Huang had committed an offence related to those declarations. It added that information from the United States and other jurisdictions remained limited. Huang, also known as Huang Le, previously served as Megaspeed’s chief executive and chairperson. She lives in Hong Kong and was not based in Singapore, the ministry said. Although allegations in the media have linked her to espionage and to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Singapore’s authorities said she was not investigated for espionage. The inquiry began in February 2025 and covered Megaspeed and several other companies, as well as senior officials. Singapore police and the Attorney-General’s Chambers sought cooperation from US authorities and server supplier Supermicro, but the MHA said assistance and information received had been limited despite repeated requests. After consulting prosecutors, police found in February that the available evidence did not establish whether Alice Huang had committed an offence in connection with the suspected inaccurate declarations. Her passport was returned on 26 February, and she left Singapore that day. The wider investigation into Megaspeed and six other people is continuing, the ministry said; none of those six has been in Singapore since it began.
