Singapore has banned Alice Huang, the former head of Megaspeed, from returning to the country following an investigation into the illegal supply of servers with Nvidia chips to China. According to local law enforcement, Alice Huang provided police with false information and tried to downplay her role in Megaspeed’s activities.

Megaspeed is registered in Singapore and was previously led by Alice Huang. US authorities suspect the company of providing false information about the final recipients of servers containing sought-after Nvidia semiconductors. The Singapore police began the investigation in February 2025, and in June of the same year they questioned Alice Huang and seized her passport. The document was returned only in February 2026, after which the woman left the country on the same day.
Singaporean authorities also expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of information from American agencies, as they did not receive enough evidence to establish whether Alice Huang committed a crime. Since September 2025, the country’s law enforcement agencies have repeatedly contacted the US Department of Justice and the FBI with a request to provide information about the investigation into the activities of the American server manufacturer Supermicro, but received only minimal information.
The story received additional political resonance in Washington after publications about Megaspeed’s business ties with Nvidia and Alice Huang’s alleged relationship with the company’s now former CEO Jensen Huang. American officials also suspect the woman of having ties to Chinese intelligence. Edition Financial Times was unable to contact Huang: her WeChat accounts and email were deleted and her phone was switched off.
In a separate statement, Megaspeed said it had hired a U.S. law firm to review export compliance, and CEO and chairman Tan Yong Pong said Megaspeed welcomes reasonable government reviews and is committed to affirming responsible and transparent business practices.
