SINGAPORE: Parliament will on Wednesday (Nov 4) debate proposed amendments to the Transboundary Haze Pollution Act (THPA).
Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu previously said that Singapore was looking to strengthen existing haze-related legislation, including the THPA, to address enforcement gaps, strengthen corporate accountability and enhance Singapore's ability to investigate and take decisive action against those responsible for transboundary haze.
To that end, she will introduce the Transboundary Haze Pollution (Amendment) Bill in parliament shortly.
