Singapore threatens to prosecute firms behind Indonesia's worst fires in years as smoke spreads
Indonesia's health ministry has linked nearly 280,000 respiratory infections to the fires, including more than 60,000 in children under five. Singapore's prime minister, Lawrence Wong, stated on Thursday that his government is investigating which companies could be held accountable, and is considering collaborative action with other nations. Jakarta first said it could cope alone, then agreed by the end of the week to accept help.
