A 56-year-old man was found dead in his Toa Payoh flat after a neighbour noticed he had not left home for two days.

According to Shin Min Daily News, the neighbour had also noticed that the lights in the unit remained off and there was a foul odour, prompting him to ask a young passer-by to call the police.

In response to Mothership's queries, the police confirmed receiving a call for assistance at Block 52 Lorong 6 Toa Payoh at around 9:50am on Nov. 11.

A 56-year-old man was found lying motionless in a residential unit and was pronounced dead at the scene.

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

Upon arriving at the scene, a Shin Min reporter noted that the unit was locked with a chain, the wooden door was slightly ajar and the upper half of the window louvres was open.

A strong stench could still be smelled up close, and a bicycle and a power-assisted bicycle were parked outside.

Man lived alone

Speaking to Shin Min, the neighbour said the man lived alone, and often rode the bicycle parked at the door to work.

He added that the man appeared to do odd jobs and did not have a full-time job.

"I’ve lived here for 20 years, and this man has lived here for a long time. Back then, he lived with his mother and younger brother," the neighbour said.

However, the man and his brother did not seem to be on good terms, the neighbour said, and the brother moved out after their mother died.

He added that the man kept to himself — he never saw any friends visit, and the brother never came by.

He also described the man as having had a simple routine: he rode out to work during the day, and watched TV dramas or listened to the radio at home in the evenings.

The female cyclist, 37, killed in the Katong tipper truck accident on Nov. 11 was reportedly on her way to pick up her child.

According to Shin Min Daily News (Shin Min), a witness at the scene told reporters that she had heard the woman was on her way to pick up her child.

A construction site had taken up part of the footpath, and pedestrians had to walk around the site through a temporary walkway to return to the footpath and cross the road.

Shin Min’s reporter also observed that in about 10 minutes, at least two cyclists rode along the Amber Gardens road without using the temporary walkway.

The accident occurred at the junction of Amber Road and Amber Gardens at around 3:15pm that day, and the 37-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene by a Singapore Civil Defence Force paramedic.

The driver of the tipper truck, 47, was arrested for driving without reasonable consideration causing death.

Police investigations are ongoing.

Road safety is a shared responsibility: MP

The MP for Marine Parade–Braddell Heights, Goh Pei Ming, said in a Facebook post that he was saddened to hear about the fatal accident, and called it "heartbreaking".

He encouraged pedestrians and drivers to take greater care to ensure road safety and to stay alert.

Goh also stated that he has received suggestions from residents about how the traffic situation in the area could be improved, and that he is working with the Land Transport Authority to look into these concerns.

"Everyone deserves to get home safely. Let’s look out for one another on our roads."

Nouvelle Chua Ruoshi, the woman who filmed the fatal abuse of four-year-old Megan Khung and helped dispose of her body afterwards, was sentenced to 13 years' jail on Nov. 13.

The 36-year-old previously pleaded guilty to conspiring to abuse Megan, disposing of her corpse, and taking drugs.

On Nov. 13, she was sentenced on all three charges.

Chua appeared in court on Friday (Nov. 13) dressed fully in black, including a mask and cap.

The courtroom's public seating was filled.

Megan's mother, Foo Li Ping and Foo's boyfriend Wong Shi Xiang, were previously sentenced to 19 years' and 30 years' jail, respectively, on Apr. 3, 2025.

They were then 29 and 38 years old, respectively, during sentencing.

Sentencing submissions

The prosecution initially sought 13.5 years' jail for Chua, while the defence sought six years and four months' jail.

During a tense hearing on Oct. 26, both parties sparred on the nature of Chua's culpability, with the prosecutor noting that Chua, alongside Foo and Wong, had robbed Megan of "basic dignity" over a prolonged duration of abuse.

This included occasions where Chua participated in the abuse, such as the mucus-eating incident and when she paraded Megan in public with make up on her face, and her recordings of the abusive acts, which he said had "minimal difference" to the abuse committed by Foo and Wong.

Finally, Chua participated in "achieving the final objective" of disposing of Megan's body, despite not being the orchestrator of the plans.

The defence, represented by lawyers from Trident Law, alluded to Chua being less culpable than her co-accused as she did not physically abuse Megan in any way.

The defence lawyer also pointed out that Chua freed Megan from the planter box during some of her visits and argued that she only helped dispose of Megan's body "on the instructions of Wong and Foo".

However, after being told by the judge that Chua had pleaded guilty to conspiring with Foo and Wong to abuse Megan, the defence was asked to file further submissions on the charges to be taken into consideration.

Sentencing decisions

During the sentencing hearing on Nov. 13, the judge noted that the defence had asked for a 30 per cent discount to her sentence, arguing that Chua had pleaded guilty early.

But the judge dismissed this, saying that she pleaded guilty more than a year after Foo and Wong did, and the couple did not get a full 30 per cent discount.

He also disagreed with Chua's plea for a lower sentence because she was less involved in the disposal.

He argued that her culpability in aiding in the disposal was not less than Wong and Foo.

Chua had known Megan's body remained in a box for two months as the couple plotted to get rid of it, and she was the one who bought the joss sticks and vinegar to help mask the smell of decomposition, the judge noted.

Neither was Chua less culpable than Foo in terms of abusing Megan, he found.

While she did not directly inflict abuse on Megan, she was not just a passive audience, but filmed the acts on at least six occasions, he said, adding that Megan was filmed in "extreme states of deprivation".

The judge also pointed out that by filming the abuse, including on some occasions where Megan was naked, Chua had created the risk of circulation of the clips to others who may derive perverted pleasure from watching them.

It was not explained why she had filmed the videos, nor whether they were shared with Foo, Wong, or anyone else.

For the disposal charge, Chua was handed five years and six months' imprisonment.

She received another six years and six months' jail for conspiring with Foo and Wong to abuse Megan, and one year's jail for consuming drugs.

All three sentences are to run consecutively.

In total, the judge sentenced Chua to 13 years' jail, backdated to her date of arrest on Jul. 24, 2020.

It also excludes the period she has been out on bail, which began on Aug. 13, 2020.

Chua was seen in tears after the sentence was delivered.

In his concluding remarks, the judge acknowledged a letter Chua had personally written and submitted to the court, though its contents are not known.

He also encouraged her to use her time in prison to reflect on her actions.

Chua was then taken into custody.

Abuse of Megan Khung

Foo and Wong had subjected young Megan to severe physical and psychological abuse over a period of 13 months.

They caned and hit the child repeatedly, starved her, and humiliated her by shaving her head and drawing on her face before parading her in public.

Chua's culpability in the abuse of Megan Khung

The offences were committed from February 2019 onwards in a unit at the Suites@ Guillemard condominium in Paya Lebar rented by the couple.

Chua was a friend of Foo and Wong and frequently visited the couple with her daughter, at times even staying over on weekends.

She was also entrusted with the care of the girl, whom she brought out with her own daughter.

She had noticed bruises on Megan since November 2019, but did not do anything to stop the abuse.

On some occasions, Chua noticed Megan was bleeding from the caning.

On one occasion, she covered her in a long-sleeve t-shirt to hide the bruises so Foo and Wong’s abuse would not be exposed, prosecutors previously said in court.

Phone recordings

Chua sometimes recorded the abuse on her mobile phone.

The clips were played in court during a previous hearing. In some of them, Megan was naked with visible bruises covering her emancipated body.

She was often seen crying and begging her abusers for leniency.

She also repeatedly asked for a T-shirt from Foo while naked in one clip, but was ignored.

In one instance, Chua could be heard telling Foo to make Megan eat her mucus after the girl complained she was hungry.

Foo then blew her nose into a handkerchief before forcefully smearing it on Megan's tongue.

In another video, Chua and Wong paraded the crying girl in public while Megan's face had red marks drawn all over it as punishment for playing with make up.

"Let's go gai gai (outing in Mandarin)," Chua could be heard saying jovially over the video.

The day Megan Khung died

On the night of Feb. 21, 2020, the day prior to her death, Megan was fatally punched in the stomach by Wong after being scolded.

The impact caused her back to hit the wall 10cm away with a loud thud.

Past midnight, Chua arrived at the unit to see Megan lying on the bedroom floor, clutching her stomach and saying she was in pain.

When Chua told Foo and Wong about this, the couple dismissed it, saying the child was just trying to get attention.

The three then gathered in the living room to take drugs together.

Hours later, Chua saw Megan in the same position and alerted Foo, who found some vomit with "clear membrane and black contents" beside Megan.

The three tried to wake Megan, but she was unresponsive.

They then took turns performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on Megan but were unsuccessful.

Disposing the corpse

Megan's body was left in the unit for months with the air-conditioning turned on.

After the couple decided on what to do with her body, Chua was instructed by Wong to buy vinegar and other items used to mask the smell of decomposition.

They also ordered a custom-made barrel to burn Megan's body, while Wong wrapped the corpse using a blanket, then layers of cling wrap, and brown tape, before putting it in a Toyogo storage box.

On May. 8, 2020, the three adults collected the barrel and two boxes of charcoal that were procured on Wong's instructions.

Chua then drove Wong to the residence with knowledge of Wong's and Foo's plans to dispose of the corpse.

At 5:25am that day, they returned to the unit to collect the box containing Megan's corpse.

At 6:10am, Wong set up the metal barrel at an open area near his godfather's workshop in Ubi and burnt Megan's corpse in it.

Foo and Chua brought incense paper over and they also burned that in the barrel for several hours.

After the fire stopped, Wong brought the ashes to East Coast Park in a trash bag and scattered them into the sea.

Drug consumption

Chua was also found guilty of consuming drugs.

She had started consuming ICE in January 2020 and consumed the drug two days before her arrest, and the court heard.

Eight male teenagers, aged between 12 and 15, were arrested on Thursday (Nov. 12) for their alleged involvement in a series of public nuisance incidents targeting a residential unit in Hougang.

Four other male youths are also assisting with ongoing investigations.

According to a Singapore Police Force (SPF) news release, authorities received multiple reports of disturbances at a home along Hougang Avenue 8 between September and November 2026.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the incidents were linked to a prank publicised online.

On multiple occasions, the youths allegedly visited the residential unit late at night, knocked loudly on the doors and windows, and fled the scene—causing significant distress and annoyance to both the occupants and neighbouring residents.

Officers from the Ang Mo Kio Police Division successfully identified the suspects through ground enquiries and closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage.

Following the arrests of the eight youths on Nov. 12, police stated that efforts are still underway to track down other individuals who may have participated in the acts.

All 12 are currently being investigated for the offence of public nuisance under Section 290 of the Penal Code 1871.

If convicted, offenders face a jail term of up to three months, a fine of up to S$2,000, or both.

In their statement, the SPF emphasised that they take a serious view of acts that disrupt the peace and cause distress to the community, warning that firm action will be taken against those who disregard the law.

Police also urged members of the public to act responsibly and refrain from taking part in online pranks or viral challenges that could amount to criminal offences.

Anyone with information related to these incidents is encouraged to contact the Police Hotline at 1800-255-0000 or submit a report online via www.police.gov.sg/i-witness. All information provided will be kept strictly confidential

Chinese president Xi Jinping said during a speech in Beijing on Nov. 12 that China's “reunification” with Taiwan “must and will be realised".

“The tide of history cannot be stopped,” he added, with no mention of the use of force.

Xi was speaking at an event commemorating the 160th birth anniversary of Chinese revolutionary leader Sun Yat-sen, who played a leading role in the revolution that overthrew China's Qing dynasty in 1911.

He described achieving China's complete reunification as an “unwavering historical mission” of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Xi reiterates commitment to peaceful 'reunification'

According to Xinhua, Xi reiterated Beijing's commitment to peaceful “reunification” under the “one country, two systems” framework.

He said Beijing was willing to hold discussions with people from different sectors in Taiwan on cross-strait relations and national reunification, provided they accepted the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus.

The 1992 Consensus refers to an understanding reached between representatives from Beijing and Taipei in 1992, although the two sides have different interpretations of its meaning.

Xi also said Beijing would fully consider Taiwan's circumstances and take into account the interests and feelings of Taiwanese people.

However, he said Beijing would leave no room for activities advocating Taiwanese independence.

Xi further called on people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, as well as Chinese people overseas, to oppose Taiwanese independence and work towards peaceful cross-strait relations and reunification.

Taiwan rejects 'one country, two systems'

Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) rejected Xi's remarks, calling on Beijing to recognise the continued existence of the Republic of China (ROC), Taiwan's official name, and respect its democratic way of life.

The council said neither Taiwan's government nor its people would accept the “one country, two systems” framework.

It maintained that Taiwan's future should be decided by its 23 million people.

MAC deputy head and spokesperson Liang Wen-chieh said Xi's remarks on reunification were largely similar to Beijing's previous positions.

Beijing considers Taiwan part of China and has not ruled out the use of force to achieve reunification.

Taiwan has its own democratically elected government and rejects Beijing's sovereignty claims.

Xi pays tribute to Sun Yat-sen

Sun is regarded as an important historical figure on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

In his speech, Xi paid tribute to Sun's contributions to China's modernisation and national development.

He also portrayed the CCP as a successor to Sun's revolutionary aspirations, linking the goal of national reunification to the broader objective of China's national rejuvenation.

Xi called on Chinese people at home and abroad to work together towards these goals.

Remarks ahead of expected Trump meeting

Xi's remarks came ahead of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders' Meeting in Shenzhen, China, from Nov. 18 to 19, 2026.

U.S. president Donald Trump said he expected to meet Xi at the summit, according to Reuters.

Beijing strongly opposes any moves toward formal Taiwanese independence or external support for it.

Washington insists that resolution to the cross-strait issue must be peaceful and reached without coercion or unilateral changes to the status quo by either side

Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, 63, allegedly had an intimate relationship with a second company employee, sources told Reuters.

The new allegation came just hours after Huang resigned on Nov. 12 from the company he co-founded, following allegations of two affairs in the past week.

Reuters did not name the second employee Huang was allegedly involved with.

The latest allegation brings the total number of extramarital affairs he was suspected of having to three: The first being alleged spy Alice Huang, and the second, Nvidia's healthcare vice president Kimberly Powell.

Reuters reported that Nvidia declined to comment.

Powell, Jensen Huang, and a representative ​for Nvidia's board did not respond.

Alice Huang could ​not be reached for comment.

Series of scandals

In an email to Nvidia staff on Nov. 8, Huang admitted to being unfaithful to his wife.

Both of Jensen Huang’s children, Spencer and Madison, work at Nvidia.

The admission came after the U.S. government launched a probe into the chipmaker's relationship with Alice Huang, who was a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed.

Reports of a second affair with Powell surfaced days later on Nov. 11, sources told The New York Times.

Less than a day later, Nvidia announced that Huang had resigned from his posts as president, chief executive officer, and board member, effective immediately.

He will be replaced on an interim basis by Colette Kress, the company's current executive vice president and chief financial officer.

CHEN is still as intimidating as I recall.

Nine long years ago, back in 2017, I unwisely allowed the young professional wrestler to lock me in a punishing submission move in the middle of a wrestling ring.

I thought my head was going to come off. The young professional wrestler with muscles in places I didn't even have places made it clear that no mere fan could last a minute in the ring when up against a pro.

But that was almost a decade ago. Two General Elections have come and gone since CHEN and I came face to face. I braced myself for a confrontation. Would he remember our encounter, and would I be forced to tap out again?

"Sulaiman!" he greeted, with a big smile. Clad in a handsome waistcoat and shirt combo, he shook my hand in recognition. Turns out, he did remember me. At least this time he looked pleased to see me.

Back then CHEN competed in Singapore's very own promotion, SPW, under a different name - Trexxus.

It was Trexxus who captured the Southeast Asia Championship and wowed a legion of Singaporean fans. But when he lost a Title vs Career match against "The Statement" Andruew Tang in 2021, he struck out for pastures new.

Wrestling under the new name of Dante Chen, he made history by becoming the first-ever Singaporean to be signed to the global behemoth WWE.

The same company that saw the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, and John Cena perform in front of crowds around the world had welcomed a Singaporean to its ranks.

In NXT, CHEN battled the likes of Lexis King and Ethan Page, most notably handing Oba "The Ruler" Femi his first-ever loss.

He again made history by officially wrestling on an episode of Smackdown, the WWE's main roster show.

So, who hits harder, Oba Femi or Bron Breakker? CHEN winces at the memory of facing Breakker, citing the impact of the Spear as a move he feels to this day.

"There's nothing like it."

It seemed as though the sky was the limit for CHEN.

Got cut

But then came the horrible news that Singapore fans were dreading.

In April 2025, the WWE released Dante Chen from his contract.

If I had just one question to ask, it would be this. What went wrong?

CHEN fielded the question effortlessly, as if he was expecting it.

"I feel that competition is very stiff in the WWE, and it just happens that what I was showing, performance wise, wasn't enough at the time. I'll give credit where credit is due, at least. Over there [it's a] different level."

Singaporean fans were incensed that Shawn Michaels, the former WWE champion who currently runs NXT, apparently decided to let CHEN go. Does he want to prove the Heartbreak Kid wrong?

He gave a wry smile. "My aim is to prove everyone wrong. Whoever doubted me, I'm aiming to prove all of them wrong, not just one person."

Japan

Leaving the U.S. in his rearview mirror, CHEN found himself in the Land of the Rising Sun.

Having adopted a new ring name, CHEN went up against brand new opponents in Pro Wrestling NOAH, another promotion with a long and storied history. Was it a big difference from wrestling in America?

"I feel like wrestling in Japan, they treat it a lot more like a competition. It isn't too much about being a showman. It's not so much about performing, it's about competing. Just something that I really appreciate in Japan."

It was in Japan that CHEN found himself in tag-team action against the legendary Tetsuya Naito, the former New Japan Pro Wrestling icon and world champion.

Naito, along with CHEN and a host of other stars will be in action on Nov. 13, at the Foo Chow building at 21 Tyrwhitt Road.

The show also boasts "The Blackheart" Lio Rush in action, a current AEW wrestler known to national and international audiences.

Audiences will also get to see the last-ever Singapore match of Yuki Kamifuku, the star from Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling, who had previously announced she will be retiring from wrestling for good in December 2026.

Singapore

While Naito won't be competing against CHEN this time, he does hold the SPW Southeast Asia championship, the same title that CHEN held before he had to leave Singapore.

Is his long-term goal to reclaim the title he once held? CHEN shared that at first, his eyes were set on the GHC Heavyweight Championship that Naito also held.

But CHEN also acknowledged the shared history he and Naito had with the Southeast Asia championship.

"It's definitely a goal of mine now," he said. "Now that I'm back in SPW, to eventually challenge for the championship again."

However, Naito will have to wait (tranquilo, as he might say). CHEN will do battle with none other than "The Statement" Andruew Tang, one of the most prominent members of the SPW roster.

It's almost poetic. Tang, like CHEN, had shed blood, sweat and tears to build up SPW to a national level. As the older competitor, Tang had shared his knowledge and expertise with CHEN.

But when CHEN left for the bright lights of the WWE, Tang was left behind in Singapore.

No matter how close they once were, there has to be some bad blood between the two. And their clash will prove, once and for all, just who is the better Singaporean wrestler.

So, can CHEN succeed where Trexxus did not?

"I feel like Trexxus walked, so that CHEN could run," said the star.

Staff members at Anna's Gourmet, a specialty store in Holland Village's Chip Bee Gardens, were in for a rude shock on Nov. 12 after discovering it had been damaged the night before.

Speaking to Mothership, the store's owner, Anna, said her large storefront window had apparently been smashed with a rock, leaving the glass completely shattered.

Occurred at night

The incident is believed to have occurred at about 8pm on Nov. 11, just after the store had closed for the day, she said.

It was brought to light after a resident alerted Anna and sent photos of the damage.

Photos and videos she shared depicted the extent of the damage at the store; the window was visibly cracked with a hole, and a rock was on the ground outside the store.

The window has yet to be repaired.

Sense of security

"The damage was extensive, and seeing a business we have worked so hard to build targeted in this way has been deeply upsetting," Anna said.

She added: "What makes this incident particularly concerning is the sense of security that businesses and residents in Singapore have come to expect.

"Chip Bee Gardens is a close-knit community, and the thought that someone would carry out such an act against a local business is both shocking and unsettling."

Noting that this is not simply a matter of repairing a broken window, Anna said: "It raises concerns about the safety of local businesses, their premises and the people who work in them".

Anna emphasised that she was sharing the incident publicly as she wants other business owners, particularly those in the surrounding area, to be aware and remain vigilant.

Despite what happened, Anna's Gourmet remains open as usual.

"We are incredibly grateful to the Chip Bee Gardens community for alerting us and for the many supportive messages we have received."

Responding to Mothership's queries, the Singapore Police Force confirmed that a report on the matter had been lodged and that they are investigating the matter.

Jensen Huang, recently beleaguered by scandal, has resigned from Nvidia, the tech company he co-founded.

A statement from Nvidia on Nov. 12 announced that Huang had resigned from his posts as president, chief executive officer, and board member, effective immediately.

He will be replaced on an interim basis by Colette Kress, the company's current executive vice president and chief financial officer.

While the company did not provide a reason for Huang's resignation, The Wall Street Journal noted that it followed revelations of two extramarital affairs: one with a suspected Chinese spy and another with an employee who reported to him.

Huang had co-founded the U.S. chipmaker in 1993 and led it for 33 years. In the process, Huang had come to be seen as the face of the AI arms race.

“Nvidia's strength has always come from its people, and together with our leadership team, I am committed to building on the extraordinary foundation Jensen created over the last 33 years,” said Kress, in the statement announcing Huang's departure.

“We will continue advancing the work that has made Nvidia a leader in accelerated computing and AI, and execute on the opportunities ahead. Our focus remains on serving our customers, partners, developers and shareholders.”

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has issued a statement on Alice Huang and Megaspeed on Nov.12.

In February 2025, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and Singapore Customs initiated an independent investigation into several companies and their key officers.

This included Megaspeed and its controllers.

The suspected domestic offences pertained to potential false declarations in relation to the purchase of servers and other related offences.

Coordinating Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs K Shanmugam noted at a press conference on Mar. 3, 2025, that Singapore’s investigations were not based on any request from any country or sovereign entity.

MHA noted that Huang, a Hong Kong resident, was investigated for suspected involvement in the possible offences in Singapore, given her position as then-CEO, Chairperson, and one of the key controllers of Megaspeed.

Huang was not based in Singapore, and was not investigated for espionage.

On Jun. 24, 2025, the US Bureau of Industry and Security conducted a voluntary Post-Shipment Verification check at Megaspeed with Huang present.

MHA said the check was the first time Singapore came to know about the US’s interest in Megaspeed and Huang.

On the same day, SPF interviewed her as part of its ongoing investigations into Megaspeed.

Her passport was impounded under Section 112 of the Criminal Procedure Code 2010 to secure her attendance for purposes of the ongoing investigations, since Huang was not based in Singapore.

The physical servers had been purchased by companies (which were under investigation) and exported through Singapore to Malaysia without entering the Singapore market.

The SPF was investigating whether the servers had subsequently been routed from Malaysia to another destination, contrary to declarations made in Singapore.

Information sought from U.S. and other destination jurisdictions

To establish the facts, SPF needed to verify these against information and records in other jurisdictions, including the jurisdictions from which the servers originated and their eventual destinations.

Singapore therefore sought information from the U.S. and other destination jurisdictions, to assist with their independent investigations.

In particular, the SPF sought information relating to Supermicro, a U.S.- based supplier of servers, which was relevant to the SPF’s investigations.

However, Supermicro provided limited cooperation. At a meeting on Jul. 7, 2025, SPF and the Attorney-General’s Chambers (“AGC”) raised this issue with the US authorities and requested their assistance in securing the company’s cooperation.

Since September 2025, SPF has repeated this request on several occasions to the US Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (“FBI”).

MHA said that despite repeated requests, they have received limited information or assistance in respect of the company.

Huang issued a stern warning and barred from re-entering S'pore

In February 2026, SPF, in consultation with AGC, concluded that there was insufficient evidence to establish that Huang had committed any offences relating to the possible inaccurate declarations for which Megaspeed was being investigated.

However, SPF assessed that Huang had provided information which she knew to be inaccurate to SPF in the course of investigations, to downplay her role in Megaspeed.

Huang was issued a stern warning and barred from re-entering the country.

MHA noted that other cases in the past have been dealt with in a similar way. SPF returned Huang’s passport on 26 February 2026, and she departed Singapore on the same day.

SPF’s investigations into Megaspeed and six other individuals are ongoing.

None of the six persons have been in Singapore since investigations commenced in February 2025.

Firm action taken against entities that violate Singapore's laws

MHA emphasised that Singapore takes seriously its reputation as a trusted international trading and business hub, and uphold the rule of law and expect all companies operating in Singapore to conduct their business honestly and in accordance with these laws.

They also said they will not allow companies or individuals to misuse Singapore's business environment to engage in fraud or dishonest practices.

MHA said that while Singapore does not enforce unilateral export controls imposed by other countries, they expect all companies operating here to take into account such regulations, including export controls, in their international business activities.

MHA said that Singapore does not condone companies using their association with Singapore to circumvent or violate other countries’ export controls through fraud or dishonest practices.

Where there is evidence of breaches of Singapore law, MHA will take firm action.

Megaspeed background

According to data from the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA), Megaspeed was established in Singapore in late September 2015, reported Singapore Chinese-language media Lianhe Zaobao (Zaobao).

Its office is located at the Ocean Financial Centre at Collyer Quay.

The company reportedly descended from a Chinese gaming and cloud computing company, 7Road, which started in Shenzhen and was involved in publishing online web games.

In March 2023, the current incarnation of Megaspeed began when 7Road split off its overseas operations in Singapore.

Alice Huang, or Huang Le, was then listed as the managing director of Megaspeed.

Before she joined, she reportedly was the executive director for a Shanghai-based firm that invested in 7Road.

Zaobao reported that all 10 million shares of Megaspeed were later transferred to Huang Le Limited, registered in the British Virgin Islands.
