Alice Huang barred from re-entering Singapore after investigation

Alice Huang barred from re-entering Singapore after investigation

Singapore has barred former Megaspeed executive Alice Huang from returning after investigating possible offences linked to server purchases.

The investigation concerned servers bought for export through Singapore to Malaysia, not espionage, the government said.

Authorities said there was not enough evidence to establish that Huang committed an offence, but she gave police information she knew was inaccurate and downplayed her role at Megaspeed.

She received a stern warning, while US authorities separately suspect her of spying for China.

The case has added to scrutiny of Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang, who admitted to an affair with Alice Huang and resigned as the company's chief executive on Thursday.

The Singapore decision bars Alice Huang from returning, and no further steps are specified.
