MHA’s Clarification Statement to Wall Street Journal’s Article on 30 Oct 2026
30 October 2026
1. We refer to your (Wall Street Journal) article “Chinese Executive Close to Nvidia CEO Suspected of Giving China Information” dated 30 Oct 2026 and the Singapore Police Force’s (SPF) reply issued to you on the same day (refer to Annex for SPF’s original response).
2. Your article gave the impression that officials in Singapore were concerned with Alice Huang’s close ties to Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang and her being an alleged Chinese intelligence source. It also further mentions that authorities in Singapore had separately investigated into Alice Huang’s ties to China. These are all untrue and were not mentioned in SPF’s reply to you dated 30 Oct 2026. Alice Huang was not investigated in Singapore on any such basis.
3. Wall Street Journal should make this clear in your story.
Annex – SPF’s Original Response
1. Investigations into Megaspeed are ongoing. We are unable to comment further at this juncture.
2. Singapore does not implement unilateral export controls imposed by foreign jurisdictions. At the same time, Singapore does not condone businesses deliberately using their association with Singapore to circumvent or violate other countries’ export controls. All companies operating in Singapore are expected to take into account other countries’ regulations, including export controls, in their international business activities.
3. While we do not enforce unilateral export controls imposed by other countries, we act firmly against companies and individuals who violate our laws and are engaged in fraudulent and dishonest practices.
4. Singapore has charged four individuals and four companies in Court between Feb 2025 and Jul 2026 for committing fraud on suppliers of servers, with these entities facing charges that carry imprisonment terms of up to 20 years each.
5. Singapore holds a zero-tolerance stance towards such offences and will act resolutely against those — whether businesses or individuals — who violate our laws, and safeguard Singapore's integrity as a trusted global financial and business hub underpinned by the rule of law.
