Grace Fu: 7 companies in Indonesia responsible for forest fires to be issued with haze prevention notices by Singapore

Singapore plans to issue haze prevention notices to seven Indonesian companies responsible for contributing to the current haze affecting Singapore. The National Environment Agency (NEA) will require these firms to extinguish fires, stop burning activities, and submit plans to prevent future outbreaks. Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu offered Indonesia civilian firefighting assistance and cloud seeding to combat the haze.

Singapore is considering further enforcement measures under its haze pollution law and will monitor the companies' responses to the notices. If evidence links other firms to fires affecting Singapore, additional notices and enforcement measures could follow.
