Singapore looking into which companies responsible for haze-causing fires, may take legal action: PM Wong

Singapore is investigating potential companies responsible for haze-causing fires, as announced by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on October 15. Wong stated that the country will take action under its Transboundary Haze Pollution Act when necessary, and may also pursue joint action with other nations. Wong emphasized that while Singapore cannot control weather patterns or fires beyond its borders, the government remains committed to safeguarding Singaporeans and collaborating with neighboring countries to address the root causes of the haze issue.
