Singapore Critical Minister Eks about Karhutla:!

The former Trade Minister Muhammad Lutfi criticized the Singapore government about reprimand to the seven companies deemed responsible for forest fires and land. In addition to Kalimantan and Sumatra, the smoke mists of this carthula spread to Singapore and Malaysia.

According to the Singapore steps this is nothing more than a way to please its citizens who suffered a loss of smoke from the carhutla in Indonesia.

Lutfi assessed that Singapore should not only send a warning letter, but to really adhere to the companies that are judged involved in the disaster.

"The Singapore government announced that they sent a warning letter to seven companies in Indonesia because of a plan (Karhutla). Let me just say, don't write a warning letter just to make your constituents and voters happy," said Lutfi on his social Instagram social media account, @ m.lutfi, quoted Tuesday (20 / 10 / 2026).

Lutfi, who once served as the President's Trade Minister of the Age of President Susilo Bautan Yudhoyono and Joko Widodo, said in the report of Greenpeace October 2026, known to four of the seven companies given warning, plus two other giant entities of the First Resources and Bumitu Agri, directly listed in the Singapore Bursa (SGX) and based in the State of the Lions with a total value of 10 billion dollars of sterling (R1.

"Four of the seven companies you mentioned are suppliers for a massive conglomerate group with the ownership of a massive corporation, recorded directly there, in Singapore," Lutfi's subject who directly highlighted the announcement that Minister Grace Fu had delivered concerning seven Karhutla's causes.

Lutfi explained Singapore's economic models were basically designed to accommodate large corporations without having to need a vast area. The country is a lot of interesting global companies to establish a parent company on its wire with light tax schemes.

But these tax incentives are only given to companies that actually have headquarters, capital, employees to make decisions in the Singapore region while their plants and farms are left in neighboring countries.

Which means that if there are companies in Indonesia that have parents in Singapore to be the cause of Karhutla, then most likely the decision making that disaster comes from Singapore itself.

"So which one is Minister Fu? Are real decisions made in Singapore to qualify for your tax breaks, or do you suddenly pretend that they had nothing to do with Singapore when there was smoke?

Instead of sending only a reprieve letter to seven companies suspected of being involved in Karhutla disaster just for political imaging, Lutfi judged that the Singapore government should be more strict in taking down the company which was actually under their jurisdiction.

"Singapore has no jurisdiction in Indonesia, and you know it. So if you really believe you have jurisdiction over these groups, just sue them. No need to threaten and announce it at a press conference, court-martial their headquarters in Singapore and show us what Singapore is really made of.
