Police probe into Alice Huang found insufficient evidence of offences relating to Megaspeed: MHA

SINGAPORE - Following an investigation launched in February 2025, Singapore authorities found insufficient evidence that former Megaspeed director Alice Huang had made inaccurate declarations regarding server purchases or committed related offences.

She was, however, issued a stern warning and barred from re-entering Singapore after police assessed that she had provided inaccurate information to downplay her role in Megaspeed, said the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in a statement on Nov 12.

Huang, alleged to be a Chinese spy involved in an affair with Nvidia’s chief executive Jensen Huang, had been investigated by Singapore police and customs as part of a larger probe into several companies, including Singapore-based cloud computing firm Megaspeed, and their key officers.

The Hong Kong resident, also known as Huang Le, was investigated for suspected involvement in possible offences in Singapore given her former position as the firm’s chief executive and chairperson, said MHA.

Huang was not based in Singapore, and was not under investigation for espionage, the ministry added.

Following consultations with the Attorney’s General Chambers, the police concluded in February 2026 that there was insufficient evidence to determine that Huang had committed any offences relating to the possible inaccurate declarations for which Megaspeed was being investigated, MHA said.

The police returned Huang’s passport on Feb 26, and she left Singapore on the same day, said MHA.

Other cases in the past have been dealt with in a similar way, MHA noted.

It added that police investigations into Megaspeed and six other individuals are still ongoing, and none of the six individuals have been in Singapore since investigations began.

MHA stressed that Singapore is committed to upholding its reputation as a trusted and reliable business hub.

“We will not allow companies or individuals to misuse Singapore’s business environment to engage in fraud or dishonest practices,” it said.

Megaspeed came under renewed scrutiny in late October, after news broke that US authorities are keeping close tabs on the firm’s former executive Alice Huang, under suspicion that she was helping China circumvent American export controls on advanced AI chips. She was the director and managing director of Megaspeed from March to November 2023.

Huang reportedly had an affair with Nvidia’s chief executive Jensen Huang. On Nov 8, the chip giant said it is probing whether its leader has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort.

After the local authorities began its independent investigation in February 2025, the US Bureau of Industry and Security conducted a post-shipment verification check at Megaspeed in the presence of Alice Huang on June 24, 2025, said MHA.

“The check was the first time Singapore came to know about the US’s interest in Megaspeed and Huang,” said the ministry, adding that the police interviewed her as part of its ongoing investigations into Megaspeed on the same day. Her passport was impounded to ensure her attendance for purposes of ongoing investigations, as she is not based in Singapore.
