Singapore barred Alice Huang from re-entry following investigation
NVDA•Singapore said Alice Huang left in February and was barred from re-entering after an investigation into possible offences related to server exports. The ministry said the investigation did not concern espionage and found insufficient evidence that she committed an offence, but issued her a stern warning.
1. Investigation and warning
Singapore’s home affairs ministry said Alice Huang, a former executive at Nvidia customer Megaspeed, was investigated for possible offences including buying servers exported via Singapore to Malaysia without entering the Singapore market. The ministry said the investigation was based on her position as Megaspeed’s then-CEO, chairperson and one of its key controllers, and did not concern espionage.
2. Entry barred
The ministry said there was insufficient evidence to establish that Huang had committed any offences, but said she gave police information she knew to be inaccurate and downplayed her role at Megaspeed. She received a stern warning and was barred from re-entering Singapore.
3. Nvidia context
Nvidia said on Thursday that CEO Jensen Huang was stepping down. The article said pressure had mounted after reports of an alleged affair between Jensen Huang and Alice Huang, whom U.S. authorities suspect of spying for Beijing.
