NEA Issues Additional Notices Under The Transboundary Haze Pollution Act

19 October 2026 – On 16 Oct 2026, the National Environment Agency (NEA) sent Preventive Measure Notices (PMNs) under Section 9 of the Transboundary Haze Pollution Act (THPA) to seven companies in Indonesia for fires in Sumatra. Since then, there are indications that smoke from fires in Kalimantan on lands held via concessions under three additional companies in Indonesia could have moved to Singapore. The companies are: 

1.  PT Buana Megatama Jaya;
2.  PT Mananjung Hayak; and
3.  PT Baratama Putra Perkasa. 

2            NEA will be sending PMNs to these companies to: 

1.  Deploy fire-fighting personnel to extinguish or prevent the spread of any fire on land owned or occupied by them; 
2.  Discontinue, or not commence, any burning activities on such land; and
3.  Submit to NEA any plan of action to extinguish any fire on such land or to prevent its recurrence. 

3            NEA remains committed to taking enforcement action against errant companies found responsible for causing transboundary haze in Singapore.
