Oil palm producer Sime Darby reiterates zero-burning policy in Indonesia

Malaysian-owned Sime Darby, one of the world's largest palm oil producers, has provided satellite data to show that there are no fires in its operating areas in Indonesia's Sumatra.

SINGAPORE: Malaysian-owned Sime Darby, one of the world's largest palm oil producers, has provided satellite data to show that there are no fires in its operating areas in Indonesia's Sumatra.

The group also reiterates its zero-burning policy, according to reports.

The Bursa-listed firm was among the eight companies named by the Indonesian authorities as having set fires to clear land in Sumatra.

Singapore-listed companies Wilmar International and Golden Agri-Resources have also admitted that they do business with some of the eight firms being named.

But it said these dealings are now under review.

A Wilmar spokesman commented to media earlier this week, saying the company would stop doing business with any party found to have started the fires.

A spokesperson for Asia Pulp and Paper, a unit of Sinar Mas, said on June 22, its own investigations have found seven forest fires in Indonesia's affected Riau province which were under control by its fire-fighting team. Five of those were set for land-clearance purposes.

Sue them for our economy and environment demage.

Nothing less than US$1b each. This will ensure they will start a fire safety drill in Sumatra every year.

Shanmugam says in Channel NewsAsia:

Foreign Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam said Singapore will offer no succour nor refuge to companies responsible for illegal fires in Indonesia that have caused the haze affecting Singapore.

Let's see if it is just chest thumping or are they going to take action.

Frankly, doubt they will be any action taken. All ka ki nang, ka ki seng li.

Until Sinkie unshackles their fear and start to vote the PAP out we will never see any of their wrong doings being punished.

For more than half a decade of one party rule, they have change the constitution at will (who is there to oppose, even if there is, the number is not enuff to stop them from bulldozing through. The 6.9 million population white paper is just one of them). Now, with the town coucil being politicized, the opposition is even facing a tougher challenge.

Time we have till the next election is short. We have to talk to our friends, relatives, loved one and colleagues about the evils of PAP whenever we have the opportunity. Especially if they are civil servants as this group tend to have a "beholden to the government" mentality. Civil servants are non-partisan and needed to support the current ruling government, that is the PAP. Should there be a change of government, the new government would still need the civil service. Expose them to the alternative media.
Hopefully can get those fence sitters to vote for the opposition in the next GE.

Realistically, changing the government in the next GE would be hard. But at least we must aim at denying PAP two third majority in parliament to prevent them from bulldozing through their unpopular policies.
