Eks mendag Ri Sentil Singapore about Karhutla: his central office there

RI's former Minister of Trade Muhammad Lutfi criticized Singapore's attitude about forest fires and land.

The Singapore government claims to send a warning letter to seven companies in Indonesia suspected of being responsible for carhutla, which is smoke to the country.

Lutfi assessed a warning letter is just a matter of government to please Singapore citizens.

"Did the Singapore Government just dare to write a letter to please their voters and donors," said Lutfi in his personal Instagram account, @ m.lutfi, Tuesday (20 / 10).

He challenged Singapore not only to reprimand in letters, but to adhere to the companies.

According to him, four of the seven companies who received a reprimand letters were suppliers for a group that had a giant holding and listing stock in Singapore.

"In fact, in the Greenpeace report October 2026, four of the five great palm groups highlighted had a burning point, including the Singapore exchange giant, such as First Resources and Bumitama Agri, whose value is almost US $10 billion dollars Singapore. His headquarters are in Singapore," his immunity.

Lutfi explains Singapore's economic model. This country has no vast land and large domestic markets. Therefore, what the investors are offering is a light tax of about 5-15 percent if they build a central office in Singapore, and they put factories and farms in cheaper neighboring countries, like Indonesia who enjoy minimal profits.

"Indonesia has smoke, damaged environment and bad name, while Singapore is pocketing its profits. The family office grew bigger and his financial management commission went into Singapore's government pockets," said Lutfi.

"Don't just write letters, don't just send warnings to Jakarta, search their offices in Singapore by Singapore law. If you want to be firm, not only to be tough on small people, but to everyone," pick it up.

Last Friday (16 / 10), Singapore stated that it would issue an alert to seven companies in Indonesia that they have identified as the most responsible party for Karhutla in recent days.

The forest fires they're accusing have caused toxic smoke and spread throughout Southeast Asia. To quote AFP, the company is among others; the Earth Andalas First, the Green Power Earth, and the SBA Wood Industries. Most of them are wood suppliers for the pulp and wood industry in Sumatra.

Not only that, Singapore also threatened to pursue legal lines against companies responsible for the fire.

"Our investigation has so far shown that part of the smoke fog experienced in Singapore came from fires in seven companies in Indonesia," the Home Minister and Environment, Grace Fu.

Singapore will also send preventive notifications to companies.

Notice will instruct the companies to deploy a fire team, stop any arson or action that could trigger a new fire.

It also contains the demand for the company to hand over their action plans to the Singapore National Environment Agency.

When asked what measures Singapore can take to ensure its corporate compliance, Fu says that such actions as "fine or lawsuits" are "considered" options. ".
