MHA rejects report on Megaspeed-linked executive, says Singapore never investigated her alleged China intelligence ties

SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has rejected a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report citing sources who said Singapore officials had concerns about, and had investigated, a businesswoman linked to Singapore-based data centre company Megaspeed.

The WSJ article, titled “Chinese Executive Close to Nvidia CEO Suspected of Giving China Information” and published on Oct 30, 2026, cited sources saying Singapore officials were concerned about Alice Huang’s close ties to Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang and about her allegedly being a Chinese intelligence source and had separately looked into her ties to China.

“We would like to make clear that neither the Singapore Government nor its officials said this,” MHA said in a statement. “And there were no such investigations conducted in respect of Alice Huang.”

What WSJ asked and what Singapore said

MHA published the newspaper’s query and the government’s reply in full.

The WSJ asked the Singapore embassy to comment on information that Singapore’s intelligence agency suspected Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, of being an asset of China’s Ministry of State Security, and that Singapore authorities had questioned her in 2025 and released her. It also asked about the scope and status of any investigation into Megaspeed and its affiliated companies.

The Singapore Police Force’s reply, sent on Oct 30, did not mention Alice Huang, Jensen Huang or any intelligence concerns. MHA said this showed that “nothing was said about Alice Huang or any concerns or investigations” relating to her alleged ties.

The reply instead stated that investigations into Megaspeed are ongoing and that the police were unable to comment further.

Singapore’s position on export controls

The police reply set out Singapore’s broader stance; Singapore does not implement unilateral export controls imposed by foreign jurisdictions, it said, but “does not condone businesses deliberately using their association with Singapore to circumvent or violate other countries’ export controls.”

Companies operating in Singapore are expected to take other countries’ regulations into account in their international business.

It added that Singapore acts firmly against those who break its own laws through fraudulent or dishonest practices. Between February 2025 and July 2026, four individuals and four companies were charged in court for fraud on suppliers of servers, with charges carrying jail terms of up to 20 years each.

“Singapore holds a zero-tolerance stance towards such offences,” the reply said, adding that the government would act resolutely to safeguard Singapore’s integrity “as a trusted global financial and business hub underpinned by the rule of law.”
