Where it stands
Singapore’s NEA issued information notices on October 23, 2026, to 10 Singapore-registered palm oil and forestry companies as part of its investigation into haze-producing fires in Indonesia. The reports do not establish that the companies started fires or caused the smoke; their responses and the investigation’s outcome remain open.

The story so far
Update 1
Singapore’s haze probe reaches ten firms. The records must connect the dots.
Information notices seek Indonesian concession, fire-control and corporate records. The test is whether those documents can establish responsibility—not simply identify companies connected to the land.
Still open after this report
- The complete recipient list, exact response deadlines, contents of the requested records and whether those records will support further enforcement remain unestablished.
