Singapore's Minister for Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan has revealed that Indonesia has accepted Singapore's offer to help with the haze.

Mr Balakrishnan said in aFacebook post on Wednesday (Oct 7) night: "MFA sent our latest formal request for the names of the companies suspected of being involved in the haze to the Indonesian Embassy yesterday so that appropriate action can be taken.

"We also reiterated our haze assistance package, which includesassets, personnel, high-resolution satellite pictures and hotspot coordinates.


"Had a good discussion this evening with Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi who indicated that Indonesia will now take up our offer. Good for our countries to work together to resolve this as soon as possible.

"In the meantime, glad to see some blue skies today."

Too late everybody got damaged lungs already!

Not him or his immediate family...he gets around in air-con comfort in his car...he got 5 cars..

My friend jokingly said one is for the maid to get the groceries..

Gosh..the rich elite denying ordinary folks the use of the other 4 cars..

I thought Dr. Koh, the backside surgeon got 2 is already bad enough...

<<Ready to Assist in Indonesian Fires>>

I’m glad Indonesian leaders have stated publicly that they accept Singapore’s help to fight the haze. The SAF’s Chinook helicopter with the Singapore Civil Defence Force's 5,000L heli-bucket that was previously used to put out forest fires in Chiang Mai stands ready, and will be able to take off once the Indonesians' approval is given. In addition, we can follow-up with a Super Puma helicopter with a 2,000L heli-bucket as needed.
