Alice Huang & Megaspeed probed by S’pore in Feb 2025 over possible inaccurate declarations, says MHA
Ms Alice Huang, who is allegedly involved in an affair with now-former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, was barred from re-entering Singapore in February this year amid a probe into Megaspeed International, a Singapore-based cloud computing firm.
The Chinese national was then the CEO, Chairperson and “one of the key controllers” of Megaspeed, said the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in a press release on Thursday (12 Nov) night.

S’pore investigated several firms, not based on any request
In February 2025, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and Singapore Customs started an independent investigation into several companies and their key officers.
They were suspected of offences pertaining to potential false declarations related to the purchase of servers and other related offences.
Singapore’s investigations were not based on any request from any country or sovereign entity, said Coordinating Minister for National Security K. Shanmugam at a press conference on 3 March 2025.

Given her position in the company at the time, she was investigated for suspected involvement in the possible offences in Singapore.
She was a Hong Kong resident and not based in Singapore, and was not investigated for espionage.
Alice Huang’s passport impounded by SPF in June 2025
On 24 June 2025, the United States Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) conducted a voluntary post-shipment verification check at Megaspeed with Ms Huang present.
This was the first time that Singapore came to know that the US was monitoring Megaspeed and Ms Huang.
On the same day, SPF interviewed her as part of its ongoing investigations into Megaspeed.
Since she was not based in Singapore, her passport was impounded under Section 112 of the Criminal Procedure Code 2010 to secure her attendance for the ongoing investigations.
SPF received ‘limited’ info or assistance from US authorities: MHA
As part of the investigation, SPF needed to determine whether physical servers that were exported through Singapore to Malaysia had subsequently been routed from Malaysia to another destination.
This meant that it had to seek information from the US and other countries to assist with the independent investigations.
In particular, SPF sought information relating to Supermicro, a US-based supplier of servers, but the company provided “limited cooperation”.
SPF and the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) then requested the assistance of the US authorities during a meeting on 7 July 2025.
SPF repeated this request several times since September 2025 to the US Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
“Despite these repeated requests, Singapore has to date received limited information or assistance in respect of the company,” MHA said.

Alice Huang knowingly provided inaccurate info to the police: MHA
In February 2026, SPF consulted AGC and concluded that there was insufficient evidence against Ms Huang over any offences relating to the possible inaccurate declarations.
However, SPF assessed that she had provided information that she knew to be inaccurate in the course of investigations.
This was in an effort to downplay her role in Megaspeed, it said.
This, she was issued a stern warning and barred from re-entering Singapore. Her passport was returned on 26 Feb 2026 and she left Singapore on the same day.
SPF noted that other previous cases had been dealt with in a similar way.

SPF investigations into Megaspeed are ongoing.
It is also probing six other individuals, none of whom have been in Singapore since the investigation started in February 2025.
Alice Huang alleged to be a Chinese spy

The pair, who are not related despite having the same surname, have made several public appearances together in a professional capacity as Megaspeed is a Nvidia customer.

According to its official website, Megaspeed has acted as “a core business partner of Nvidia’s computing power cloud business in the Asia-Pacific region”.
However, Ms Huang has been alleged by the US authorities to be a Chinese spy recruited to gather information on Mr Huang.
An article published by The Wall Street Journal on 30 Oct even claimed that Singapore officials were concerned about her close ties to Mr Huang or her being an alleged Chinese intelligence source, and had separately investigated her ties to China.
But MHA clarified in a statement on 31 Oct that neither the Singapore Government nor its officials had said this, and there were no such investigations conducted in this respect.
Jensen Huang resigns from Nvidia
As the fallout from the cheating scandal deepens, Mr Huang has resigned from Nvidia.
In a statement on Thursday night, the chipmaker said he had stepped down as President, CEO and a board member “effective immediately”.
Describing his contributions to Nvidia as “profound”, the board thanked him for his “immeasurable contributions” to the company and the industry.
Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress will serve as Interim CEO until a permanent successor has been named, while the board of directors appointed Mr Harvey C. Jones as its first-ever Chair of the Board.
Mr Huang’s departure came shortly after internal sources told the New York Times that he had another extramarital affair with Ms Kimberly Powell, Vice-President of healthcare at Nvidia.
