Indonesia has defended cuts in natural gas piped to Singapore, insisting it has kept levels above the minimum specified in existing contracts. On Sunday, Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong called for commitments to be honoured. Indonesia has cut daily deliveries to Singapore since Saturday, redirecting resources to provide power in Batam, Bintan and Sumatra. The reduction of around 31 million standard cubic feet of gas a day adds up to roughly 8% of natural gas sent by pipe from Indonesia to Singapore. Singapore's energy authority says there's no immediate risk of shortfall with cuts amounting to less than 2% of its daily gas demand. Saifulbahri Ismail reports from Jakarta.
