Singapore bars Alice Huang from re-entry but says police found too little evidence of offences
The Home Affairs Ministry says the former Megaspeed chief got a stern warning and an entry ban for knowingly giving inaccurate information to downplay her role, after police found in February there was insufficient evidence of offences; probes into Megaspeed and six others go on.
Why it matters
The statement is Singapore's first official account of how it handled Alice Huang, the former Megaspeed chief at the centre of the Nvidia scandal. It says she was investigated over possible false declarations in server purchases, not espionage, and that her passport was returned on 26 February 2026, the day she left. Singapore says it first learned of US interest in Megaspeed during a US Bureau of Industry and Security check on 24 June 2025. Watch the continuing probes into Megaspeed and six other people, none of whom has been in Singapore since February 2025.
