Singapore says it barred Alice Huang from re-entry after Megaspeed chip probe in February

Singapore has barred Alice Huang from re-entering the country after her involvement in a probe into the Megaspeed chip scandal, according to the Ministry of Home Affairs. Huang, a former executive at the Singapore-based company, was investigated for providing inaccurate information during the probe into the alleged false declarations by technology companies on the purchase of servers containing top-end AI chips.

The ministry stated that Huang had given information she knew to be inaccurate to downplay her role in Megaspeed and that there was insufficient evidence to suggest she committed offences related to possible inaccurate declarations. The investigation, initiated by Singaporean authorities in February 2025, aimed to determine if servers containing AI chips were being exported from Singapore to Malaysia and potentially delivered to other destinations, contrary to the companies' declarations.

The scandal has gained global attention following Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang's admission to having an affair with Alice Huang, who is suspected by the US to be a Chinese intelligence asset.
