Vivian threatens to crush Companies responsible for Haze.... REAL or NATO only?

[Force 136]

Minister for the Environment and Water Resources, Dr Vivian Balakrishnan said: "Early next year, I'll be going to Parliament to introduce a new Act specifically targeting trans-boundary haze. We will make it a criminal offence. We will hold the companies as well as directors liable for the damage they cause to us, as well as the deleterious health impact on our population. We're about to finalise the drafting, I will present it to the public. We will take the views of the public, adjust it if necessary. I hope to pass this bill sometime within the first half of next year.

"Again, the intention is to send a signal to companies. We are going to hold them accountable and we know who is responsible for causing these problems to literally millions of Singaporeans and Indonesians."

Dr Balakrishnan said his ministry will also collaborate with non-government organisations to highlight the problem within the local and international sphere.

He said the key objective is to ultimately create an awareness among consumers of palm oil, to understand which companies are producing palm oil sustainably and responsibly, and which ones are doing so through indiscriminate burning.

If he can implement and enforce such acts, he won't be in public sector wasting taxpayers money

Making motherhood statement is one thing, but gathering of evidence and legal process is another, especially if the companies are outside Singapore.

Could be that he thought he was destined for greater things. Probably still thinks that, despite hentah kaki for so long.
