Alice Huang's reported links to Jensen Huang

Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive, has come under scrutiny following reports about her alleged relationship with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.

Megaspeed, which is known for developing AI data centres across South Asia, has said it has always operated in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

The company has described the allegations seriously and said it is committed to establishing the facts surrounding the claims.
