Singapore has identified seven firms suspected of involvement in Indonesian forest fires and plans to issue remediation notices under the Transboundary Haze Pollution Act requiring them to stop open burning or be barred from burning and to submit plans to prevent recurrence, Minister Grace Fu said.
