[SINGAPORE] Alice Huang, the alleged Chinese spy accused of having an affair with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, has been barred from re-entering Singapore for having given police information she knew to be inaccurate, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said on Thursday (Nov 12).

The former Megaspeed International CEO, also known as Huang Le, gave the said information to the police to downplay her role in the company, MHA added.

Megaspeed, a Singapore-based cloud computing firm and major Nvidia customer, has been accused of diverting Nvidia’s restricted artificial intelligence chips to customers in China – an accusation the company has denied.

MHA said Alice Huang was given a stern warning, and her passport was returned on Feb 26. She left Singapore the same day.

The police, in consultation with the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC), concluded in February that there was insufficient evidence that she had committed an offence over the possibly inaccurate declarations for which Megaspeed was being investigated.

MHA said the Hong Kong resident was investigated because she was then Megaspeed’s CEO, chairperson and one of its key controllers. She was not based in Singapore.
