The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) announced that that the Singapore Police Force (SPF) had found insufficient evidence to establish that former Megaspeed executive Alice Huang had committed offences relating to suspected inaccurate declarations involving server purchases. However, Huang was issued a stern warning and barred from re-entering Singapore after providing inaccurate information to police about her role in Megaspeed. Investigations into Megaspeed and six other individuals remain ongoing. MHA reaffirmed Singapore’s commitment to conducting independent investigations, upholding its laws and safeguarding its reputation as a trusted and reliable business hub.
π¬ What are your views on the investigations into Megaspeed and the Government’s approach to preventing fraudulent business practices?
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) highlighted that:
(1) The Singapore Police Force (SPF) and Singapore Customs began independent investigations in February 2025 into several companies, including Megaspeed, over suspected false declarations involving server purchases. The investigations were not initiated at the request of any foreign government, and Huang was not investigated for espionage.
(2) Following consultations with the Attorney-General’s Chambers, SPF concluded in February 2026 that there was insufficient evidence to establish Huang’s involvement in the suspected offences. However, she was issued a stern warning and barred from re-entering Singapore for knowingly providing inaccurate information to downplay her role in Megaspeed.
(3) Singapore sought assistance from US authorities and other jurisdictions to verify whether servers exported through Singapore to Malaysia had subsequently been diverted elsewhere. Despite repeated requests, Singapore received limited information or assistance concerning US-based server supplier Supermicro, while investigations into Megaspeed and six other individuals remain ongoing.
(4) Singapore does not enforce unilateral export controls imposed by other countries, but will not tolerate companies using Singapore to circumvent such controls through fraud or dishonest practices. The authorities will continue to investigate independently, cooperate with foreign counterparts where appropriate, and take firm enforcement action when warranted by evidence.

1. This incident unfortunately is a geopolitical tussling between 2 Superpowers.
But we are caught in between - whereby companies in Singapore conduct its business.
[13/11/2026 11:24 am] LCL Danny εΏ (1st HP):
2. Setting up a company for cloud hosting implies selling GPU, processes, storage and computing for customers - be it local or foreign countries.
3. The catch is, companies must honestly declare who the customers are without hiding information.
[13/11/2026 11:28 am] LCL Danny εΏ (1st HP):
4. Likewise when a company export goods and services to another country, export information must be properly recorded and make known without hiding the destination country or countries.
5. Only then, we are trusted as a reliable trading and business hub. Only then foreign investors will be willing to put their money in Singapore to invest.
6. Even though we don't enforce other countries export control, we expect companies doing trading to observe export control for those products and services they carry to do so.
[13/11/2026 11:32 am] LCL Danny εΏ (1st HP):
7. So what MHA is doing is appropriate.
[13/11/2026 11:37 am] LCL Danny εΏ (1st HP):
8. Having say so, the next decades or so, as geopolitical tussling intensifies, business, trading will get more and more difficult, more and more intricate - and we need to find niches that we can trade without infringement to the big powers tussling to survive - which is not easy and we need to do a good fine balancing act no matter how difficult it is.

[13/11/2026 11:57 am] LCL Danny εΏ (1st HP):
But it will have a big impact on us to attract investment into our shores and create jobs for us.
It will also impact us as a big trading export and import hub as well as transhipment hub.
As our survivor is hinge on :-
1. Investment to create jobs for us.
2. Trading export and import to grow our economy.
Hence what we do here must send a signal to the world - that we are a trusted and reliable hub.
But we don't take sides in the geopolitical tussling.
[13/11/2026 12:00 pm] Andy: Don't care about this. I think it's a calculated, targeted move for US to bring down the chinese CEO Jensen Huang. New York times started the whole fiasco, I think there's more to it than what we see on the new

Jensen Huang (taiwan origin) is a super smart guy same as Alibaba Ma Yun (china)
If I am Elon, I would hire him also
[13/11/2026 12:10 pm] Adam in reply to Andy:

Ultra high net worth
[13/11/2026 12:11 pm] Adam: The govt does not really make stuff like adultery illegal too
[13/11/2026 12:11 pm] Andy: Anyway Jensen is rich enough to retire and get all the girls he wants!
[13/11/2026 12:12 pm] Adam: Sure its morally wrong but among the scummy stuff people do...
[13/11/2026 12:12 pm] Jun Ming: Ya so nothing really much to discuss
[13/11/2026 12:12 pm] Adam: Theres worse CEOs out there
[13/11/2026 12:13 pm] Jun Ming: But ya maybe because our leaders are high class people hence they care

Jessen is smart and ultra-rich but morally he is π
[13/11/2026 1:02 pm] Khai Mun L.: I believe there might be more companies which are setup in sg that are used for illegal or grey areas. Would need more investigation resources or AI logic to catch these cases..
Kind of like bank accounts or sim cards opened by random people, and then used to do illegal stuff.

It added that although Malaysia did not enforce export controls imposed unilaterally by other countries, companies operating locally were expected to take such restrictions into account when conducting international business.
The ministry also reminded companies against misrepresenting their dealings with government agencies.
“Malaysia welcomes investment in data centres and technology, but will not allow itself to be used to get around export controls,” it said, adding that stern action would be taken against any company found to have violated Malaysian law.

Malaysia authority in synch with our MHA.

In a statement, Singapore said it held Alice Huang’s passport months after President Trump was briefed that she was a spy.

I think US govt wants Jessen to step down Nvidia and hence create this "fiasco "
FBI/Trump already aware of Jessen marital affairs mths ago, why wait until now then release the investigation ?
No spy (Alice Huang) would be so "stupid" to be so high profile in public eye ....
US next "target" maybe Elon Musk ....
Trump also has many marital affairs/bankruptcy/insider trading/legal cases and etc, why didnt he step down as President ?
