Companies cannot 'play hide and seek' to evade responsibility for Indonesia fires: Shanmugam

Companies linked to fires in Indonesia cannot use different corporate structures to escape responsibility in Singapore, said Coordinating Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs K Shanmugam. 

He said Singapore would look beyond individual concession holders to large corporate groups and those who ultimately control them. And if there are linkages, Singapore will try and go after these groups, said Mr Shanmugam.

Authorities are also considering legal, regulatory and economic measures against companies found to be responsible for the haze.
