Singapore targets Indonesian firms over cross-border smog

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Singapore is taking a firm stance against Indonesian companies contributing to cross-border smog. The National Environment Agency has issued preventive notices to three more Indonesian agroforestry companies in Kalimantan, bringing the total targeted to ten. These notices require companies to actively combat and prevent fires on their concessions, cease current burning, and submit action plans. Singaporean officials have emphasized that the smog is preventable and warned companies against evading responsibility, threatening to use legal and regulatory measures to exert pressure on their operations and finances.
