16 October 2026 – The National Environment Agency (NEA) is closely tracking hotspots and smoke plumes from fires in the region drawing on information from sources such as maps, meteorological data and satellite imagery. 

 2            There are indications that smoke from fires on lands held via concessions under seven companies in Indonesia could have moved to Singapore. The companies are: 

1. PT Bumi Andalas Permai;
2. PT Bumi Mekar Hijau;
3. PT Paramitra Mulia Langgeng;
4. PT Sumatera Alam Anugerah;
5. PT SBA Wood Industries;
6. PT Hutan Lestari Raya;
7. PT Bangkanesia.

 3            NEA has sent Preventive Measure Notices under the THPA 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;
3. Submit to NEA any plan of action to extinguish any fire on such land or to prevent its recurrence.

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