Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong announced on Thursday that the government is investigating which companies are responsible for the forest and peatland fires in Indonesia that have led to worsening transboundary haze. Wong stated that Singapore is prepared to take legal action against culpable firms where warranted, utilizing the country's Transboundary Haze Pollution Act.
In addition to domestic legal measures, the administration is actively exploring opportunities for joint action with other nations to address the recurring environmental issue.
