Malaysia and Singapore widen Nvidia chip probes as fifth person charged over 917 servers

Malaysia's trade ministry said Friday it is working with customs to determine whether AI chips imported by Speedmatrix, the Malaysian unit of Singapore-based Megaspeed, were re-exported, and said it has never cleared either company. Singapore charged a fifth person, Chinese national Shi Bingzhe, with 41 counts over purchases of 917 servers that may contain Nvidia accelerators, and said it has received limited help from US authorities. Megaspeed, the firm at the center of the Jensen Huang scandal, has hired a US law firm to conduct an inventory of its GPUs and review its export-control compliance.
