Singapore has barred Alice Huang, a former senior executive at cloud computing firm Megaspeed, from re-entering the country following an investigation into possible offences involving the company’s business operations.
The development comes amid growing international attention surrounding Megaspeed, which has been linked to allegations involving the diversion of advanced Nvidia artificial intelligence (AI) chips to China.
Alice Huang is also at the centre of a separate controversy involving Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang, who recently stepped down as the company’s chief executive following reports of two alleged extramarital affairs.
However, Singapore’s Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) stressed that its investigation into Alice Huang was not related to espionage.
Alice Huang Left Singapore In February
According to MHA, Alice Huang left Singapore in February and was subsequently prevented from returning after investigations into possible offences connected to Megaspeed.
She was investigated over suspected involvement in the purchase of servers that were allegedly exported through Singapore to Malaysia without entering the local market.
Authorities said the investigation focused on her position as Megaspeed’s former chief executive, chairperson and one of the company’s key controllers.
Although investigators found insufficient evidence to establish that she had committed any offences, MHA said Alice Huang had provided police with information she knew to be inaccurate during questioning.
She was also accused of downplaying her role within Megaspeed.
Following the investigation, she received a stern warning and was barred from re-entering Singapore.
Investigation Into Megaspeed Remains Ongoing
Singapore authorities confirmed that investigations involving Megaspeed and six individuals are still ongoing.
The case first attracted attention in October 2025, when Singapore Police Force announced that it was investigating the company over suspected breaches of local laws.
The investigation followed concerns raised in the United States about whether Megaspeed had helped divert Nvidia chips to China, potentially bypassing American export restrictions.
Megaspeed has maintained that it takes its obligations under US export control laws seriously and has cooperated with inspections conducted by American authorities.
MHA reiterated that Singapore would not allow businesses or individuals to exploit the country’s commercial environment for fraudulent or dishonest activities.
The ministry also said Singapore would cooperate with foreign authorities where appropriate.
Alice Huang Linked To Jensen Huang Controversy
The investigation has attracted even greater attention because of Alice Huang’s reported association with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
US authorities reportedly suspect Alice Huang of having connections to Chinese intelligence, although the Chinese government has denied allegations that she was acting as a spy.
Reuters reported that footage showed a woman identified as Alice Huang leaving a restaurant after attending a dinner with Jensen Huang in Taipei, Taiwan, in May 2025.
The relationship became a major controversy after reports emerged that Jensen Huang, who is married, had an alleged extramarital affair with her.
The controversy intensified further following reports of another alleged affair involving a senior Nvidia executive.
Jensen Huang subsequently stepped down as CEO of Nvidia, with chief financial officer Colette Kress appointed as interim chief executive.
Despite the international allegations surrounding Alice Huang, Singapore’s MHA has made clear that its investigation concerned possible domestic offences involving Megaspeed’s business activities, rather than espionage.
The distinction is significant as investigations into Megaspeed and six individuals continue, while questions remain over the wider allegations surrounding the Nvidia chip controversy.
