Singapore barred Alice Huang from re-entry

Singapore has denied entry to Alice Huang, an individual suspected of espionage by US authorities, following her provision of misleading details during an investigation linked to her time at Megaspeed International. The government has also expressed dissatisfaction with the limited cooperation from US authorities, particularly in relation to Supermicro, a US-based server manufacturer.

On June 2025, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) impounded Huang's passport to ensure her presence during the probe. Subsequent investigation concluded that there wasn't enough evidence to prove she had committed offences concerning inaccurate declarations related to server purchases by companies affiliated with Megaspeed.

However, the investigation revealed that Huang had supplied information she knew to be false to minimize her involvement with the Singapore-incorporated company. Consequently, she was warned sternly and barred from re-entering Singapore. Her passport was returned on February 26, 2026, and she left the country on the same day.

The Singapore government clarified that the investigation was not espionage-related but focused on alleged false server purchase declarations and potential unauthorized routing of exported equipment. The probe involved several companies and key officials, including Megaspeed's leaders, with Huang serving as the company's CEO, chairperson, and one of its primary controllers.

Singapore noted that Huang is a Hong Kong resident and was not present in Singapore during the investigation, which was not initiated at the request of any foreign entity. The government also highlighted the limited cooperation from US authorities in obtaining information from Supermicro, particularly in determining the ultimate destinations of servers exported through Singapore to Malaysia.
