  "summary": "First Resources, a palm oil company, has expressed confidence that it will clear its name in allegations surrounding land clearing by fire. The company maintains a zero-burning policy and has welcomed a thorough, evidence-based examination of the facts surrounding the haze situation. Singapore’s National Environment Agency (NEA) has invoked the Transboundary Haze Pollution Act against ten other Indonesian forestry and agriculture companies, demanding preventive action plans. Greenpeace has also linked First Resources to plantation areas in Indonesia where fires and smoke were detected. The company remains committed to transparency and accountability, and stands ready to cooperate fully with any inquiries or investigations by the relevant authorities.",
