Singapore says it held Megaspeed's Alice Huang's passport for months, then released her with a warning

Singapore's Home Affairs ministry says police impounded Alice Huang's passport during a Megaspeed server-declaration probe, found insufficient evidence of offences in Feb. 2026, and returned it Feb. 26. She got a stern warning for giving inaccurate information and is barred from re-entering. Probes of Megaspeed and six other people continue; four people and four companies have been charged.
