Five out of ten Singapore-registered firms that received legal notices from the National Environment Agency (NEA) have pledged their full cooperation with the authority's investigation into haze-related matters.
The companies were served notices as part of the NEA's efforts to address transboundary pollution and maintain air quality standards in the city-state. The regulatory action underscores Singapore's commitment to tackling regional haze issues that periodically affect the island's air quality.
The firms' commitment to cooperate with the NEA suggests a willingness to comply with environmental regulations and assist in the agency's fact-finding process. This collaborative approach may facilitate a faster resolution of the investigation.
The remaining five companies have not yet publicly stated their position on the legal notices. The NEA continues its investigations as part of broader efforts to identify and hold accountable entities linked to activities contributing to regional air pollution.
