Singapore’s Ministry of Home Affairs has clarified that neither the government nor its officials expressed concern about former Megaspeed executive Alice Huang’s close ties to Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang or about her allegedly providing intelligence to China. The authorities also did not investigate her ties to China.
The Ministry of Home Affairs issued a statement on Saturday (31 October) to clarify claims in a report published by the US newspaper The Wall Street Journal on Friday (30 October). The report was titled “Chinese Executive Close to Nvidia CEO Suspected of Giving China Information”.
In its first and third paragraphs, the report cited sources as saying that Singapore officials were concerned about Alice Huang’s close ties to Jensen Huang, chief executive of US chip giant Nvidia, and allegations that she provided intelligence to Chinese intelligence agencies. The report also said officials had investigated her ties to China.
The Ministry of Home Affairs said: “We would like to make clear that neither the Singapore Government nor its officials said this. And there were no such investigations conducted in respect of Alice Huang.”
The ministry said The Wall Street Journal had written to the Singapore government with queries on the matter, and the government had responded on 30 October.
Alongside its statement, the ministry released The Wall Street Journal’s questions and the Singapore Police Force’s response. In its reply, the police only confirmed that investigations into Megaspeed were ongoing, saying they were unable to comment further at this juncture.
The reply made no mention of Alice Huang or her ties to Jensen Huang or Chinese intelligence agencies, and did not express concern about them nor said any investigation was under way.
According to Singapore’s Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA), Megaspeed, formerly known as 7Road International, was registered in Singapore in 2015.
In its reply, the police stressed that Singapore does not implement export controls unilaterally imposed by foreign jurisdictions. At the same time, Singapore does not condone businesses using their association with Singapore to circumvent or violate other countries’ export controls. The authorities will act firmly against companies and individuals who violate Singapore’s laws and are engaged in fraudulent or dishonest practices.
The police also said that four individuals and four companies had been charged in court between February 2025 and July 2026 for allegedly defrauding server suppliers. The charges carry prison terms of up to 20 years upon conviction.
According to US media reports, the US government is investigating Alice Huang on suspicion of acting as an agent for China and helping to circumvent US export restrictions on advanced technology.
Responding to the reports on Thursday (29 October), Jensen Huang said routine contact between the two companies was part of normal business activity, and that Alice Huang had since left Megaspeed. Nvidia had not received any notification from US authorities about suspected espionage before the media reports appeared.
Jensen Huang highlighted that Nvidia had conducted comprehensive checks and a detailed inventory of the graphics processing units delivered to Megaspeed. “We checked in detail where every chip was deployed,” he said, confirming that Megaspeed had not improperly re-exported high-performance chips to China. He added that he believed US regulators had conducted similar checks.
