NEA monitoring haze situation closely; probes into 4 firms over 2015 haze situation still ongoing
NEA also highlighted regional cooperation within Asean as crucial.
The National Environment Agency (NEA) of Singapore is closely monitoring the haze situation and is investigating four Indonesian firms over the 2015 haze incident. Investigations into these companies are ongoing, and the NEA is unable to provide further details due to the investigation status. The agency, along with regional cooperation, is crucial in addressing transboundary haze pollution.
The Transboundary Haze Pollution Act, which came into force in September 2014, imposes penalties for actions causing or contributing to haze pollution in Singapore. If convicted, a company can face daily fines up to S$100,000, capped at S$2 million. Currently, the 24-hour PSI in Singapore has been in the unhealthy range since October 5, with the highest readings recorded in the west and central regions.
