According to a statement by Singapore’s Ministry of Home Affairs, former Megaspeed CEO Alice Huang (黃樂) was investigated over suspected false declarations in server procurement, not for espionage. In February 2026, police found insufficient evidence to prove she had committed an offence, but barred her from re-entering Singapore because she had provided false information to downplay her role. On October 31, the Ministry of Home Affairs also denied the Wall Street Journal’s claim that officials suspected she was a Chinese intelligence source. (Earlier coverage: A “beautiful Chinese spy” appears in Jensen Huang’s circle? US Congress wants him to “brief them behind closed doors.”) (Background: US reportedly to block China from renting overseas computing power using Nvidia chips; seven countries including Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand named.) Key points: Singapore says Huang Le was investigated in connection with a 2025 false server declaration case. Police found insufficient evidence in February 2026, but barred her from re-entering Singapore. Singapore has charged four individuals and four companies, with a maximum sentence of 20 years. On November 12, Singapore’s Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) issued a statement outlining the police investigation into former Megaspeed CEO Alice Huang (黃樂). It said that she was involved in a domestic offence concerning possible false declarations in server procurement and “was not investigated for espionage.” Police found insufficient evidence in February 2026, but concluded that she had deliberately provided false information during the investigation. Police therefore issued her a stern warning and barred her from re-entering Singapore. This was the Ministry’s second statement on the case, following its statement on October 31. That earlier statement denied claims about Singaporean officials reported by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ). The Ministry denies officials made these statements. On October 30, the WSJ published an article titled “Chinese Executive Close to Nvidia CEO Suspected of Giving China Information.” The Ministry said the article cited sources claiming that Singaporean officials were concerned about Alice Huang’s close relationship with Jensen Huang, or suspected that she was a Chinese intelligence source. The report also said officials had separately investigated her ties to China. The Ministry responded: “Neither the Singapore Government nor its officials made these statements, and no such investigation into Alice Huang was conducted.” The Ministry also made public the WSJ’s questions and the Singapore Police Force’s response on October 30. The police response said only that the investigation into Megaspeed was ongoing and that they could not comment further at that time; it did not mention Alice Huang. In its questions to the Singapore Embassy, the WSJ said it had learned that Singapore’s intelligence agency suspected Alice Huang of being an informant for China’s Ministry of State Security. The WSJ also said Singaporean authorities had interviewed her in 2025 and then released her. As of the evening of November 14 Taiwan time, BlockTempo had found no public response from the WSJ to the Ministry’s statement. The investigation began with server declarations. The November 12 statement set out a full timeline. In February 2025, the Singapore Police Force and Singapore Customs independently launched investigations into several companies and their key personnel. Megaspeed and its controller were also included in the investigations. The suspected offences involved possible false declarations in server procurement and other related offences. Alice Huang is a Hong Kong resident who does not live in Singapore. At the time, she was Megaspeed’s CEO, chairperson and one of its principal controllers, so she was included in the investigation. The Ministry also cited remarks made on March 3, 2025, by K Shanmugam, Coordinating Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs. He said the investigation had not been launched at the request of any country. On June 24, 2025, the US Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) conducted a voluntary post-shipment check at Megaspeed, which Alice Huang attended. Such checks verify whether exported goods were delivered to the declared end users. The Ministry said Singapore first learned of US concerns about Megaspeed and Alice Huang at that point. Police interviewed her that same day and seized her passport under the Criminal Procedure Code to ensure that she would cooperate with the investigation. The Ministry’s October 31 statement saying it had not conducted “such an investigation” referred to an investigation into her ties with China. The November 12 statement clarified that she had indeed been investigated by police in connection with the Megaspeed case. Insufficient evidence, but barred from entry. The Ministry said that servers purchased by the companies involved were re-exported through Singapore to Malaysia and did not enter the Singapore market. Police were investigating whether the servers were subsequently transferred from Malaysia to elsewhere, contrary to the declarations made in Singapore. To verify this, police needed to compare records of the country of origin and the final destination, and therefore requested information from the United States and other places. Police specifically requested information from US server supplier Supermicro, but it provided only limited cooperation. On July 7, 2025, the Singapore Police Force and the Attorney-General’s Chambers raised the matter with the US authorities. From September 2025 onward, police made several more requests for assistance from the US Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The Ministry said that to date, only limited information or assistance had been received. In February 2026, after consulting the Attorney-General’s Chambers, police concluded there was insufficient evidence to prove that Alice Huang had committed offences related to false declarations. However, police assessed that she had knowingly provided them with inaccurate information to downplay her role at Megaspeed. Police therefore issued a stern warning and barred her from re-entering Singapore. The Ministry said that other cases had been handled in the same way. Police returned her passport on February 26, 2026, and she left Singapore that day. The investigation into Megaspeed and six other individuals is ongoing. Those six individuals have not returned to Singapore since the case was opened in February 2025. The Ministry also said that between February 2025 and July 2026, Singapore charged four individuals and four companies. The charges include cheating by making false representations in server procurement, each carrying a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. The statement did not explain the defendants’ relationship to Megaspeed. Megaspeed was formerly known as 7Road International. According to information from Singapore’s Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority cited by Lianhe Zaobao, the company was registered in Singapore in 2015. Lianhe Zaobao also cited US media reports that the US government is investigating Alice Huang on suspicion that she acted as an agent for China and helped evade US restrictions on exports of advanced technology. According to CNA, Megaspeed’s current CEO and chairperson, James Tan Yong Pong, issued a statement on the company website on November 12. He said the company had cooperated with the BIS checks and was willing to fully cooperate with other US government agencies. The Ministry concluded its statement by saying that Singapore would independently investigate in accordance with its domestic laws and the available evidence, and cooperate with foreign authorities where appropriate. Singapore would take enforcement action when there was sufficient evidence.
