[JAKARTA] Indonesia has pledged to respect international law as Singapore investigates companies and individuals linked to the 2015 land and forest fires that enshrouded the region in toxic haze. Read more at The Business Times.

The Act targets those responsible for causing or condoning fires, if burning results in unhealthy levels of haze in Singapore.

Mr Luhut said Indonesia will also adhere to the Asean Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution, a pact to combat the regional smog which it ratified in September 2014, the last of 10 countries to do so. "We are obligated to defend Indonesian nationals, but we also enforce laws on them if they are found guilty," the minister said.

"However, Indonesia will also use its environment and forestry laws to enforce against if they are found to breach the laws," he added.
