Taiwan has revoked the entry permit of Alice Huang, a Chinese woman accused of spying on Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang, barring her from re-entering the island.

Taiwan's interior minister Liu Shyh-fang confirmed the decision, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP).

Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based data centre company Megaspeed, is suspected by U.S. officials of working for Chinese intelligence.

She was also reportedly involved in an affair with the Nvidia CEO, who has acknowledged having an extramarital relationship.

Beijing has denied the espionage allegations.

Entered Taiwan using Hong Kong passport

Taiwan's National Immigration Agency director-general Lin Horng-en confirmed that Alice Huang had entered the island using a Hong Kong passport and the authorities have records of her visits.

Huang is currently overseas, Liu told lawmakers during a parliamentary session.

According to TVBS News, Taiwanese lawmaker Huang Jie questioned how Alice Huang had been allowed to enter Taiwan for business purposes.

Huang Jie noted that Alice Huang had visited Taiwan in June 2024 and May 2025, raising concerns about potential national security loopholes that could allow Chinese spies to enter the island under the guise of business visits.

In response, Liu said the authorities would review procedures, including pre-entry screening, checks during visits and measures taken afterwards.

She added that Taiwan's interior ministry and immigration authorities would cooperate with national security agencies if further investigations were necessary, according to TVBS News.

Alleged links to Nvidia CEO

Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, previously held a senior position at Singapore-based Megaspeed.

According to AFP, U.S. officials suspect she works for Chinese intelligence.

She was also reportedly involved in an affair with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who has acknowledged having an extramarital relationship.

Taiwan's national security agencies are investigating the matter, Liu said.

A former site manager at 800 Super Waste Management has been sentenced to 49 days' imprisonment after he admitted to receiving S$18,000 in kickbacks from five migrant workers to secure their continued employment.

Koh Kim Sia was convicted under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act (EFMA), according to a Ministry of Manpower (MOM) press release on Wednesday (Nov. 11).

He faced 24 charges under the Act and pleaded guilty to five counts involving the five workers, with the remaining 19 charges taken into consideration during sentencing.

According to MOM, Koh’s role at 800 Super Waste Management included recruiting and managing conservancy workers who performed estate cleaning and maintenance services for town councils, as well as handling the application and renewal of their work permits.

Between June and July 2021, Koh demanded payments ranging from S$2,000 to S$4,000 from each worker as a condition to keep their jobs, collecting a total of S$18,000.

In an advisory issued following the conviction, MOM stressed that demanding or receiving kickbacks from migrant workers is a serious offence.

The ministry reaffirmed its stance against individuals exploiting vulnerable workers for financial gain, noting that offenders under the EFMA face fines of up to S$30,000, jail terms of up to two years, or both per charge.

MOM urged migrant workers who suspect they are being solicited for kickbacks to reach out for assistance via the MOM hotline (6438 5122) or the Migrant Workers' Centre (6536 2692).

Reports on suspicious employment practices can also be submitted confidentially through MOM’s online infringement reporting service.

An 81-year-old elderly woman who lived alone was found dead in her Yishun flat on Nov. 10.

Her remains were discovered after neighbours noticed a foul smell along the corridor.

Family moved out, husband passed years ago

When reporters from Shin Min Daily News visited the second-floor unit at Block 343 Yishun Avenue 11, a neighbour, surnamed Wu (transliteration), shared that the deceased was known to them as Brenda (transliteration).

According to Wu, Brenda used to live with her family back in the days.

However, her husband passed on years ago.

Meanwhile, her two sons moved out after starting families of their own.

"The sons rarely visit. Usually only during Chinese New Year. Her grandson would visit occasionally. Apart from that, an older man, possibly her brother, would bring her food from time to time," Wu shared.

Wu added that the deceased, who used to be a teacher and had taught tuition classes at home, kept to herself.

"I've been neighbours with her for over 30 years. My late mother and her used to have a good relationship," Wu said.

"She doesn't interact much with neighbours, but we would greet each other," he added.

Neighbours called police after smell

Wu's wife shared that the deceased would usually leave her main door ajar from morning till evening.

However, from Friday, she noticed that the main door remained closed while the windows were left open.

Wu's wife grew worried because there did not appear to movement inside the house.

She initially assumed that the deceased had gone on a holiday, but later noticed a smell.

By Nov. 10 morning, the smell had grown so strong that they needed to wear masks.

This led her to believe that someone had passed in the house, which prompted her to get Wu to call the police.

"Only after the police arrived and investigated that I confirmed she had passed away," Wu's wife commented.

"This saddens me. After all, we've been neighbours for so long," she added.

Responding to Mothership's queries, the Singapore Police Force said that they received calls for assistance at 4:50pm on Nov. 10.

The 81-year-old woman was found lying motionless in the unit.

She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Based on preliminary investigations, the police do not suspect foul play.

Investigations are ongoing.

The United States House of Representatives has blocked an attempt to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over his handling of the war in Iran and other military operations.

In a 211-204 vote on Nov. 10, lawmakers voted to send the impeachment resolution back to a House committee, effectively halting the effort for now, according to the Associated Press (AP).

The vote was largely along party lines, with most Republican lawmakers voting to block the impeachment effort after US President Donald Trump expressed strong support for Hegseth.

Although the Democrats won control of the House by winning a majority of seats in the November midterm elections, the new candidates have yet to be officially sworn in, which means the House is still Republican-controlled until January 2027.

The impeachment effort was led by Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky and supported by Democrats.

Eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth

Massie introduced eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth, accusing him of various abuses of power while in office, according to Reuters.

One of the allegations concerned Hegseth's decision to launch military operations against Iran, despite the absence of an imminent threat and without congressional approval.

According to AP, the articles also raised concerns about reductions in resources at a Pentagon office responsible for mitigating civilian harm.

The reductions came before a US missile strike that killed up to 168 people at a primary school in Iran during the war.

Other allegations concerned military operations in Yemen and Venezuela, strikes on suspected drug-smuggling boats in Latin America, and Hegseth's attempt to punish Democratic Senator Mark Kelly over a video urging troops to resist unlawful orders.

On X, Massie argued that US military operations in Iran had continued without congressional authorisation.

"The law requires our military to withdraw from hostilities within 60 days if Congress does not authorise the activity," he said.

IMPEACHMENT, Article III

The law requires our military to withdraw from hostilities within 60 days if Congress does not authorize the activity.

Operation Epic Fury has been underway for 256 days. Congress has not authorized it.

Hegseth is breaking the law.

Not even debatable.

Hegseth dismisses impeachment effort

During a Pentagon news briefing ahead of the House vote, Hegseth criticised the impeachment effort, arguing that it would embolden US adversaries, according to Reuters.

He also defended the war in Iran.

"History will judge the Iran war quite differently than the conventional wisdom right now," Hegseth said.

He also rejected Massie's allegations, arguing that they amounted to policy disagreements rather than offences warranting impeachment.

"This is not patriotism," Hegseth said, according to AP. "This is sabotage."

Trump backs Hegseth

Trump publicly defended Hegseth following the Pentagon briefing.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump praised Hegseth's defence against Massie's impeachment attempt.

"Pete Hegseth gets an 'A' PLUS, PLUS, PLUS," Trump wrote.

Trump's remarks followed the Nov. 3 midterm elections, which saw Democrats win control of Congress amid voter dissatisfaction with the Iran war, according to Reuters.

Impeachment effort could return in 2027

Although the Nov. 10 vote halted the impeachment effort for now, another attempt could follow when Democrats take control of the House and Senate in January 2027, according to AP.

AP reported that House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries supported the impeachment effort, accusing Hegseth of abusing his authority and undermining US national security.

Democrats have also pledged to investigate Hegseth's management of the Pentagon, including his dismissal of senior military officers, if he remains in office next year, according to Reuters.

A 20-year-old Singaporean man who had sex with three underage girls was sentenced to seven years' jail and six strokes of the cane on Nov. 10.

Muhamed Khairil Kapalee pleaded guilty to sexually penetrating two of the girls, who were aged 14 and 15 at the time.

He also admitted to a statutory rape charge involving a 12-year-old girl who cannot speak or hear.

Another seven charges, including theft, were taken into consideration during his sentencing.

Met first two victims online

According to court documents seen by Mothership, Khairil, then 18, got to know the first victim through Telegram on Dec. 7, 2023 and started an online relationship with her.

The girl was 14 at the time.

Two days later, she ran away from home after discussing it with him, and the pair met up.

They later had unprotected sex near Jalan Besar Stadium.

When he noticed her mother was tracking her phone, he threw the device down a rubbish chute.

He also lied to the mother, saying he did not know where the girl was, when she called him.

Relatives later found the girl, confronted him and alerted the police.

The police interviewed him on Dec. 21, 2023.

He had acknowledged that underage sex was wrong and said he would not do it again.

In January 2024, he met the second victim, who was 15, on Telegram.

She lived in a home for vulnerable and abused children at the time.

The pair had unprotected sex at a carpark that month.

After the home found out, police interviewed Khairil again in February 2024.

He volunteered that he knew she was 15 and that the legal age for consensual sex in Singapore was 16.

Incident with the third victim took place at KKH

In August 2024, Khairil met the third victim, aged 12, through mutual friends.

According to court documents, the victim also has a history of severe global developmental delay and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

The following month, she was warded at KKH for a suspected bacterial infection.

Khairil visited her, and they engaged in sexual activities in a toilet for the handicapped on the hospital's ground floor.

He was arrested on Sep. 25, 2024, charged two days later and has been in remand since.

The 12-year-old was seen at the Child Guidance Clinic of the Institute of Mental Health in May 2025.

Court documents said she "reported feeling sad, scared and angry and disgusted since the incident", and experienced insomnia, nightmares and recurrent thoughts of it.

Prosecution's submissions

The prosecution described Khairil as having "a deeply problematic history of engaging in sex with underage girls, many of them very vulnerable".

He committed serious sexual offences, including penetrative ones against vulnerable victims, between 2017 and 2019, and was placed on probation in 2020.

Barely a year after completing probation, he committed the new offences.

The prosecution said that although he was diagnosed with mild intellectual disability, his maturity was normative for his age at the time of the offences.

They sought seven to eight years' jail and six strokes of the cane, noting that "rehabilitative options have been offered and tried, but the Accused has failed to avail of them".

A scramble crossing trial will take place in Joo Chiat for three months from Nov. 16, 2026, Marine Parade-Braddell Heights Member of Parliament Goh Pei Ming told CNA on Nov. 11.

The pilot at the junction of Joo Chiat Road and East Coast Road is an assessment of the initiative to see if it can be a permanent fixture.

It is part of ongoing efforts to improve traffic flow and enhance pedestrian safety, Goh said.

A scramble crossing allows pedestrians to cross the road diagonally as vehicle movement at an intersection is stopped in every direction for a short time.

The Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo, Japan is the most famous example.

As a result, the right turn from East Coast Road towards Joo Chiat Road will be permanently restricted.

LTA told CNA on Wednesday that it will be monitoring traffic and pedestrian conditions during the three-month trial.

Waiting times for both motorists and pedestrians could be longer with the new crossing arrangement, even though it will improve pedestrian convenience and safety, LTA added.

Previous trials

Singapore previously experimented with a new scramble intersection at the junction of Cairnhill Road and Orchard Road in December 2017 for a month.

In December 2006, a scramble intersection was tested at the junction of Bideford Road and Orchard Road for six months.

Both were temporary set-ups.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's alleged extramarital affair with Alice Huang reportedly led to shipment of at least US$7.5 billion (S$9.6 billion) worth of Nvidia chips to Chinese firms, Reuters reported, citing The Information.

Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, is suspected of being a spy for the Chinese government.

On Nov. 8, Jensen Huang admitted to an affair, leading to the launch of an independent investigation by Nvidia's Board and a lawsuit from the company's shareholders.

The U.S. government imposes restrictions on the export of advanced Nvidia chips to China.

Moving supplies

Citing The Information, Reuters wrote that Alice built a network of companies across China and Singapore to acquire chips from Nvidia together with her husband and sister.

A China-based company company Shanghai Century Litong, founded in June 2023, is at the centre of this network.

By October that year, it had secured priority access to Nvidia's chips after attaining preferred cloud partner status.

Century Litong was initially linked to Alice Huang's sister, Huang Yu, through a founding shareholder she controlled.

However, Huang Yu's ties to the company ended in 2024.

When orders for export-restricted Nvidia chips stalled, Alice used her relationship with Nvidia and its distributors to move supplies into China.

Century Litong rented computing capacity and operated data centres equipped with Nvidia chips, including some barred from sale to China, Reuters wrote.

Some of these chips eventually served Chinese tech firms like Alibaba, Tencent and smaller AI labs, according to The Information's report.

Firms like TenCent are investors in leading Chinese AI companies such as DeepSeek.

Reuters reported that Nvidia did not respond to its queries about The Information's report.

Alibaba, Tencent, Megaspeed and Shanghai Century Litong were not available for comment at press time.

Reuters also wrote that it could not independently verify the report.

Previous media reports alleged that Alice had used her ties with Nvidia's CEO to advance her business interests, including for Singapore-based data centre firm Megaspeed.

Megaspeed was previously accused of aiding Chinese firms in bypassing U.S. export restrictions to access Nvidia's advanced AI chips, a charge the company has denied.

Questions surrounding the relationship between Jensen Huang and Alice Huang were first surfaced by the New York Times in October 2025.

The U.S. chipmaker and its CEO are now facing a lawsuit brought by shareholders, accusing them of concealing the CEO's relationship to Alice.

Dream World

If you want to step inside a game

Ever wished you could ditch the screen and walk straight into your favourite game?

Dream Play

If you just want to hit the arcade

Not everyone at a gaming festival is there to go pro, and Dream Play is for them.

It’s the festival’s social hub for casual players, families and pop culture fans, blending arcade gaming, lifestyle retail and community culture in one space.

Timezone is bringing arcade and family play to the event, so you can go from “I haven’t played in years” to “one more round” in about five minutes.

This Game On Dreamers-branded article made this writer want to challenge her friends to a round at the arcade.

A 45-year-old father in Malaysia allegedly ordered his son out of the car following an argument and drove off.

The 12-year-old boy was then seen clinging to the back of the car, eventually falling and sustaining injuries.

The man was later arrested by Malaysian police for child endangerment.

Incident

The incident occurred on Nov. 9, according to Malaysian media Sinar Daily.

A clip of the incident taken by another motorist's dashcam showed a white car parked by the side of a busy road, with a man seen speaking to the boy outside the car.

Moments later, the man entered the car while the boy walked to the passenger side, but was unable to open the door.

The car then drove off.

The boy attempted to keep up with the car while still holding onto the back door handle, but soon fell on the road.

He was assisted by a motorcyclist and the motorist who filmed the incident.

According to the video's caption, the incident occurred in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia.

Father arrested the next day

The boy's father, reportedly a Chinese national, was arrested in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur on Nov. 10 on suspicion of abandoning his son by the roadside, according to The Star.

The white car he drove was also seized by police.

According to investigators, the man said that he got into an argument with the boy, his eldest son, during a family outing to Selangor.

Angered, he stopped the car by the roadside, ordered the boy out of the car and scolded him.

He then left the scene without his son in order to teach him a lesson, he admitted.

The man also reportedly claimed to have seen the boy fall onto the road and turned back to pick him up before taking him to a clinic, according to the police.

The case is under investigation for alleged abuse, neglect, abandonment or exposure of a child to physical or emotional injury.

An autonomous vehicle (AV) apparently braked hard suddenly as it approached a traffic light that was showing green in Punggol, causing the drivers behind to apply the brakes of their vehicles as well.

The incident apparently occurred on Aug. 13, 2026, at around 11:15am.

A Grab logo could be seen at the AV shuttle's rear.

Dashcam footage of the incident was shared online recently, after a video of an AV almost hitting a schoolgirl who was crossing the road in Punggol was put up on social media, sparking concerns with self-driving technology and its testing on public roads.

What video showed

The footage of the AV braking without encountering any obstacle was taken along Punggol Field.

As seen in the footage, the AV braked hard even when it had the right of way and did not appear to encounter any obstacles on the road.

About 3 seconds later, the traffic light turned red.

The vehicle recording the scene could be seen braking hard to avoid rear-ending the AV that had come to an almost complete stop.

The rear camera of the vehicle recording the scene captured footage of a van behind having to brake hard as well to avoid a collision.

The driver who supplied the video wrote, "lucky i kept a safe distance & the driver behind me was alert too."

LTA response

In response to Mothership's queries, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said it is aware of online videos showing the driving behaviour of AVs on roads in Punggol.

"We are reviewing the incidents with the respective AV operators to establish the circumstances and identify any necessary improvements," LTA said.

AVs deployed on public roads are regulated under the sandbox set out in Road Traffic (Autonomous Motor Vehicles) Rules 2017 and are required to comply with all traffic rules and LTA’s safety and operational requirements, LTA added.

The authority has also worked with the traffic police to establish a set of protocols to respond to and manage any accidents involving AVs.

All authorised AV operators are required to maintain liability insurance covering third-party death, bodily injury and property damage caused by, or arising out of the use of the AVs, including passengers, LTA noted.

LTA may take regulatory actions, such as suspending or cancelling the authorisation to operate on public roads, if regulatory requirements are not met.

LTA also said:

"The ongoing pilot in Punggol allows operators to test and progressively refine their technology under local traffic conditions to comply with traffic rules and safety requirements.

This also highlights the importance of testing, where the AV familiarises itself with our road conditions with the safety operator on board.

We will continue working with AV operators to address issues identified during the pilots and ensure that AV operations meet the required safety standards.

From next month, Singapore will publish a quarterly report on all our AV deployment efforts. This is to ensure transparency and strengthen public confidence in AVs as we scale up."

In response to media queries, Grab said: "Safety operators are on board at all times to step in when needed and provide continuous feedback to guide system refinements."

Grab added that it is "thoroughly reviewing each instance" with LTA and its partner, WeRide.

Members of the public can report incidents online.

Self-driving vehicle incidents

This was not the first instance of an AV shuttle behaving in an apparently erroneous manner.

On Nov. 5, an AV shuttle making a left turn nearly hit a schoolgirl, before veering away and braking.

In response, LTA directed Grab to pause some of its AV testing until investigations are concluded.

Another incident on Nov. 5 involved an AV shuttle under ComfortDelGro making a U-turn and not giving way to an oncoming vehicle going straight.

As a precautionary measure, LTA directed ComfortDelGro to pause U-turns at the junction pending the outcome of its review.

LTA also said the incident occurred while ComfortDelGro was conducting AV testing along a route intended for its enhanced on-demand service and the route was not part of its existing shuttle route.

Grab currently operates two routes in Punggol, while ComfortDelGro operates one.
