Singapore says insufficient evidence to charge former Megaspeed director Alice Huang
After a year-long probe, Singapore's Ministry of Home Affairs said there was not enough evidence to charge Alice Huang with offences related to Megaspeed, though she was warned and barred from re-entering the country.
Singapore's Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) announced on 12 November that police concluded there was insufficient evidence to charge former Megaspeed director Alice Huang with inaccurate declarations or related offences stemming from an investigation that began in February 2025. The ministry said Huang, a Hong Kong resident who previously served as chief executive and chairperson of the cloud-computing firm, was issued a warning and barred from re-entering Singapore after police determined she had provided inaccurate information to minimise her role in the company.
The police returned Huang's passport on 26 February 2026, and she left Singapore the same day. The investigation, which also involved Singapore Customs, was not initiated at the request of any foreign government. Authorities are continuing separate probes into Megaspeed and six other individuals, none of whom have been in Singapore since the investigations began.
MHA emphasized Singapore's commitment to maintaining its reputation as a reliable business hub, stating, "We will not allow companies or individuals to misuse Singapore’s business environment to engage in fraud or dishonest practices." The ministry added that Singapore will cooperate with foreign authorities where appropriate and will take enforcement action when evidence warrants it.
Megaspeed attracted attention in late October after U.S. authorities examined the firm’s former executive, Alice Huang, over concerns she might have helped China evade U.S. export controls on advanced AI chips. Huang held the director and managing director roles at Megaspeed from March to November 2023. The U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security conducted a post-shipment verification at Megaspeed on 24 June 2025, marking the first time Singapore learned of U.S. interest in the company.
The police are investigating whether servers purchased by companies under probe were exported through Singapore to Malaysia and then onward to other destinations, contrary to declarations made in Singapore. To verify the facts, Singapore sought information from the United States and other jurisdictions, including data from U.S. server supplier Supermicro, which provided limited cooperation despite repeated requests by Singapore's police and the Attorney-General’s Chambers.
Four individuals and companies have been charged between February 2025 and July 2026 with offences such as fraud by false representation related to the server purchases.
