  "summary": "Singapore is investigating which companies may be responsible for the haze-causing fires in Indonesia, according to Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, who announced this on Oct. 15 via Facebook. The country intends to take action under the Transboundary Haze Pollution Act if necessary, and to consider joint actions with other nations. The act, enacted in 2014, allows the government to prosecute entities found guilty of haze pollution, whether within or outside of Singapore. Wong also mentioned that Singapore has provided assistance to Indonesia and is committed to ongoing collaboration with Indonesia and ASEAN partners to tackle the issue.",
