Mr Fadli Fawzi asked the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment (a) whether any firms inside or outside Singapore will be investigated under the Transboundary Haze Pollution Act 2014 in relation to the recent peat fires in Johor that have caused Singapore to be impacted by haze; and (b) if not, why not.
Mr Fadli Fawzi asked the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment (a) whether Singapore has received any request from the Johor State Government or Malaysian federal government for assistance to put out the recent peat fires in Johor; (b) whether Singapore has offered assistance to Johor or Malaysia to put out the fires, and (c) if not, why not.
I have addressed Parliamentary Question No 18 in my combined oral reply on 12 February 2026. [Please refer to "Assessment of Transboundary Haze Episodes, and Review of Bilateral and Regional Haze-mitigation Measures", Official Report, 12 February 2026, Vol 96, Issue 17, Oral Answers to Questions section.]
For Parliamentary Question No 19, Singapore has not received any requests from Malaysia for assistance to put out the recent peat fires in Johor. We are in touch with the Malaysians and will continue to monitor the situation.
