Singapore has issued preventive notices to three additional companies in Indonesia’s Kalimantan province over links to forest fires, bringing the total number of firms issued notices to 10.

The notices mark an expansion of Singapore’s measures targeting companies linked to the fires. The available information does not identify the three firms or describe the evidence connecting them to the fires. It also does not specify when the notices were issued or what steps the companies are required to take.
The stated concern is haze that crosses national borders and is caused by forest fires in Indonesia. Kalimantan and Sumatra are identified as provinces where such fires have occurred. No details were provided about the scale or duration of the haze, the locations affected, or whether the latest notices relate to particular fires.
The total of 10 includes the three firms newly issued notices, according to the information provided. The names of the other companies, the dates of earlier notices and the measures Singapore may take after issuing a notice were not specified. No response from the companies or further action by Singapore was included in the summary.
The notices are described as preventive. The available information does not explain their legal basis, whether they allege violations, or whether any penalties have been imposed. It also does not say whether the notices have changed the companies’ operations or the conditions associated with the fires.
