MP SPEAKS | Stop this blame game with everyone pointing the finger at someone else.

A joint investigation team should be set up by Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore to find and bring those responsible for the jungle fires in Sumatra and Kalimantan to justice and stop this blame game with everyone pointing the finger at someone else.

In 2014, Singapore took legal action under its Transboundary Haze Pollution Act 2014 that led to massive fines against several Indonesian companies blamed for plantation fires. Section 5 of the act states that Singapore can fine S$100,000 for each day that a local or foreign company contributes to unhealthy levels of haze pollution in Singapore, subject to a maximum fine of S$2 million.

The Asean mechanism of cooperation must be stepped up and improved to be effective, including through the establishment of the Asean Coordinating Centre for Transboundary Haze Pollution Control .
