SINGAPORE: Parliament is debating proposed amendments to the Transboundary Haze Pollution Act (THPA).

Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu previously said that Singapore was looking to strengthen existing haze-related legislation, including the THPA, to address enforcement gaps, strengthen corporate accountability and enhance Singapore's ability to investigate and take decisive action against those responsible for transboundary haze.

To that end, she is introducing the Transboundary Haze Pollution (Amendment) Bill in parliament.

新加坡：国会正在辩论对《跨境烟霾污染法》（THPA）的拟议修正案。

新加坡永续发展及环境部长傅海燕此前表示，新加坡正寻求加强现有的与雾霾相关的立法，包括《跨境雾霾防治法》，以解决执法漏洞，加强企业问责制，并增强新加坡调查和对跨境雾霾责任人采取果断行动的能力。

为此，她向议会提交了《跨境烟霾污染（修正）法案》。
