Singapore has barred former Megaspeed executive Alice Huang from re-entering the country after authorities found that she had provided inaccurate information to police to downplay her role in the company during an investigation, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said.
Huang, who is linked to an alleged extramarital relationship with Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang, was issued a stern warning and left Singapore on February 26, 2026, after her passport was returned, the ministry said in a statement on Thursday.
The development comes amid mounting controversy surrounding Nvidia and its former chief executive Jensen Huang, who reportedly stepped down on Thursday following revelations about his personal relationships and allegations involving Alice Huang. According to the MHA, Singapore police and customs began an independent investigation in February 2025 into several companies and their key officers over suspected offences involving possible false declarations in the purchase and export of servers.
Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, was investigated because of her former position as Megaspeed’s chief executive, chairperson and one of its key controllers. The ministry clarified that she was not investigated for espionage and that Singapore’s investigation was not initiated at the request of any foreign government.
Following consultations with the Attorney-General’s Chambers, police concluded in February 2026 that there was insufficient evidence to establish that Huang had committed offences relating to the possible inaccurate declarations under investigation.
However, authorities found that she had provided information she knew to be inaccurate in an attempt to downplay her involvement in Megaspeed. She was consequently issued a stern warning and barred from returning to Singapore. The investigation into Megaspeed and six other individuals remains ongoing, the ministry said.
The probe focused on companies that had purchased physical servers and exported them through Singapore to Malaysia without the equipment entering the Singapore market. Investigators were examining whether the servers were subsequently routed to other destinations contrary to declarations made in Singapore.
The case gained international attention following reports that US authorities suspected Alice Huang of having links to Chinese intelligence and potentially helping divert advanced Nvidia artificial intelligence chips to China in violation of American export controls.
Singapore, however, stressed that Huang was not investigated for espionage. The MHA also said authorities had repeatedly sought assistance from the US Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to obtain information from US-based server supplier Supermicro, but had received limited cooperation.
The developments have intensified scrutiny of Nvidia, whose advanced chips are central to the global artificial intelligence industry and the technology competition between the United States and China.
