SINGAPORE - The haze is back. And as forest fires rage on in Indonesia, a Singapore connection has surfaced.One company, Hutan Ketapang Industri, sealed off by the Indonesian authorities after fires were discovered on its land, has links to Singapore-based Sampoerna Agri Resources.

Those guilty can be fined up to $100,000 a day, capped at a total of $2 million. No fines have been meted out since the law was passed in 2014. Singapore connections to the firms linked to Indonesia's fires Three firms with plantations on fire have been singled out by various sources as having offices in Singapore.

An APP spokesman said there had been hot spots within 5km of its concession boundaries in WKS recently, although there were none at present.When a concession has been sealed off by Indonesian authorities, the directorate general of law enforcement from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry would start a preliminary investigation and secure all the evidence on the ground with the help from local police, he said.

In response, April said that it reports all fires on its concessions and continues to work with local police in reporting and investigating every fire incident. On Sept 19, SEC said that companies certified by SGLS+ are fire-free. It said it determines this by a range of factors, including whether the firms have robust fire management practices in place to quickly suppress fire outbreaks when they occur
