SINGAPORE: Three companies that received notices from the National Environment Agency (NEA) under the Transboundary Haze Pollution Act on Friday (Oct 23) have said they will comply with requests for documents and information.
Wilmar International, First Resources and Bumitama Agri were among 10 Singapore-registered firms served notices as part of NEA’s efforts to address transboundary haze pollution, marking the first time the agency has done so since the Act took effect.
In a filing on Saturday, First Resources said it was reviewing the notice and “will provide the requested documents and information to NEA in accordance with the requirements set out therein”.
First Resources also said it would monitor the matter and make further announcements where appropriate if there were material developments.
Wilmar said in a filing on Friday that work was underway to comply with its notice, while Bumitama said on Saturday that it would provide the requested documents and information. Both said they would make further announcements if there were material developments.
The 10 firms are required to furnish NEA with information about their links with associated companies in Singapore and Indonesia, the locations of their land concessions, and their fire prevention measures and any firefighting efforts during the dry season.
