新加坡修订霾害法：可委私人评估员调查涉霾企业，最高罚款2000万新元
新加坡11月4日通过跨境霾害法修订，赋予政府更大调查权，处理造成空气污染的商业行为。环境部长傅海燕表示，经历最近的霾害后，维持现状已不可行。
修订要点包括：政府可委任私人界评估员调查涉嫌与霾害有关的公司；被定罪的涉霾企业可被处以每日最高100万新元、总额最高2000万新元罚款。新加坡已向10家在新加坡注册的公司发出通知，要求提供营运与霾害关联信息；金融管理局亦警告银行，应对可能违反环境法的公司设条件、甚至终止关系。
新加坡11月3日表示，明年担任东盟轮值主席时，将与成员国合作强化跨境霾害协议的落实。

Singapore Amends Haze Law: Private Assessors to Probe Firms, Fines Up to 20 Million Singapore Dollars
Singapore amended its transboundary haze legislation on November 4 to empower the government in investigations into business practices that cause air pollution. Environment Minister Grace Fu said that following the recent haze episode, the status quo is no longer tenable.
The changes let the government appoint private sector assessors to investigate companies with suspected links to haze pollution. Companies found guilty of contributing to the haze may be fined up to 1 million Singapore dollars per day, up to a maximum of 20 million. Singapore has issued notices to 10 Singapore-registered companies seeking information on their operations and potential haze links, and the Monetary Authority of Singapore has warned banks to impose conditions on, or even end relationships with, companies that may have breached environmental laws.
On November 3, Singapore said it would work with ASEAN member states to strengthen implementation of the transboundary haze agreement when it chairs the bloc next year.
