  "summary": "A Malaysian plantation group and several Singapore-linked business interests are under investigation by Indonesian authorities for their involvement in fires affecting large tracts of land in Sumatra and West Kalimantan. While Indonesian authorities have not disclosed the identities or nationalities of the 19 companies investigated, a report by Greenpeace Indonesia, Greenpeace Malaysia and Pantau Gambut identified at least one Malaysian company alongside four concessions linked to Singapore-based business interests. Indonesian Consul-General in Johor Baru Sigit Suryantoro Widiyanto reported that they identified 57 businesses across eight provinces in their enforcement crackdown, with 46 suspects under criminal investigation, including five companies. Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has agreed to take measures to address the worsening haze, and Malaysia has renewed calls for stronger regional cooperation.",
