Singapore's Ministry of Home Affairs confirmed that Alice Huang (Huang Le), a key figure tied to AI server firm Megaspeed, had her passport impounded for about 8 months (247 days, 24 June 2025 – 26 Feb 2026) during an investigation, then was released the same day it was returned.
- On 24 June 2025, the US Bureau of Industry and Security ran a voluntary post-shipment verification at Megaspeed; Singapore Police interviewed Huang the same day and impounded her passport under Section 112 of the Criminal Procedure Code as a Hong Kong resident.
- In Feb 2026, after consulting the Attorney-General's Chambers, police found insufficient evidence she committed offences related to possibly inaccurate declarations.
- Police assessed she knowingly downplayed her role via inaccurate information; she got a stern warning and was barred from re-entering Singapore.
- She was not investigated for espionage; probes into Megaspeed and six individuals continue.
CNA, The Straits Times, Reuters and others confirmed via the official MHA statement.
