Alice Huang barred from reentering S'pore, SPF investigations into Megaspeed & 6 other individuals ongoing: MHA - Mothership

Latest statement from the Ministry of Home Affairs.

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has issued a statement on Alice Huang and Megaspeed on Nov.12.

In February 2025, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and Singapore Customs initiated an independent investigation into several companies and their key officers.

This included Megaspeed and its controllers.

The suspected domestic offences pertained to potential false declarations in relation to the purchase of servers and other related offences.

Coordinating Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs K Shanmugam noted at a press conference on Mar. 3, 2025, that Singapore’s investigations were not based on any request from any country or sovereign entity.

MHA noted that Huang, a Hong Kong resident, was investigated for suspected involvement in the possible offences in Singapore, given her position as then-CEO, Chairperson, and one of the key controllers of Megaspeed.

Huang was not based in Singapore, and was not investigated for espionage.

On Jun. 24, 2025, the US Bureau of Industry and Security conducted a voluntary Post-Shipment Verification check at Megaspeed with Huang present.

MHA said the check was the first time Singapore came to know about the US’s interest in Megaspeed and Huang.

On the same day, SPF interviewed her as part of its ongoing investigations into Megaspeed.

Her passport was impounded under Section 112 of the Criminal Procedure Code 2010 to secure her attendance for purposes of the ongoing investigations, since Huang was not based in Singapore.

The physical servers had been purchased by companies (which were under investigation) and exported through Singapore to Malaysia without entering the Singapore market.

The SPF was investigating whether the servers had subsequently been routed from Malaysia to another destination, contrary to declarations made in Singapore.

Information sought from U.S. and other destination jurisdictions

To establish the facts, SPF needed to verify these against information and records in other jurisdictions, including the jurisdictions from which the servers originated and their eventual destinations.

Singapore therefore sought information from the U.S. and other destination jurisdictions, to assist with their independent investigations.

In particular, the SPF sought information relating to Supermicro, a U.S.- based supplier of servers, which was relevant to the SPF’s investigations.

However, Supermicro provided limited cooperation. At a meeting on Jul. 7, 2025, SPF and the Attorney-General’s Chambers (“AGC”) raised this issue with the US authorities and requested their assistance in securing the company’s cooperation.

Since September 2025, SPF has repeated this request on several occasions to the US Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (“FBI”).

MHA said that despite repeated requests, they have received limited information or assistance in respect of the company.

In February 2026, SPF, in consultation with AGC, concluded that there was insufficient evidence to establish that Huang had committed any offences relating to the possible inaccurate declarations for which Megaspeed was being investigated.

However, SPF assessed that Huang had provided information which she knew to be inaccurate to SPF in the course of investigations, to downplay her role in Megaspeed.

Huang was issued a stern warning and barred from re-entering the country.

MHA noted that other cases in the past have been dealt with in a similar way. SPF returned Huang’s passport on 26 February 2026, and she departed Singapore on the same day.

SPF’s investigations into Megaspeed and six other individuals are ongoing.

None of the six persons have been in Singapore since investigations commenced in February 2025.

MHA emphasised that Singapore takes seriously its reputation as a trusted international trading and business hub, and uphold the rule of law and expect all companies operating in Singapore to conduct their business honestly and in accordance with these laws.

They also said they will not allow companies or individuals to misuse Singapore's business environment to engage in fraud or dishonest practices.

MHA said that while Singapore does not enforce unilateral export controls imposed by other countries, they expect all companies operating here to take into account such regulations, including export controls, in their international business activities.

MHA said that Singapore does not condone companies using their association with Singapore to circumvent or violate other countries’ export controls through fraud or dishonest practices.

Where there is evidence of breaches of Singapore law, MHA will take firm action.

According to data from the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA), Megaspeed was established in Singapore in late September 2015, reported Singapore Chinese-language media Lianhe Zaobao (Zaobao).

Its office is located at the Ocean Financial Centre at Collyer Quay.

The company reportedly descended from a Chinese gaming and cloud computing company, 7Road, which started in Shenzhen and was involved in publishing online web games.

In March 2023, the current incarnation of Megaspeed began when 7Road split off its overseas operations in Singapore.

Alice Huang, or Huang Le, was then listed as the managing director of Megaspeed.

Before she joined, she reportedly was the executive director for a Shanghai-based firm that invested in 7Road.

Zaobao reported that all 10 million shares of Megaspeed were later transferred to Huang Le Limited, registered in the British Virgin Islands.
