吉隆坡 — 新加坡国家环境局周一表示，将向三家印尼公司发出预防性通知，以应对和防止加里曼丹省的森林火灾，这些火灾可能导致烟雾越境飘至新加坡。
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Singapore will issue preventive notices to three more Indonesian companies to tackle and prevent forest fires in Kalimantan province that may have sent smoke across the border , the National Environment Agency said Monday.
这使得新加坡根据《跨境雾霾污染法》所针对的印尼公司数量增至10家。
This brings to 10 the number of Indonesian companies that Singapore is targeting under its Transboundary Haze Pollution Act.
国家环境局在一份声明中表示，上周五已向七家与苏门答腊省火灾有关的印尼农林企业发出预防措施通知。此后，该局表示，有迹象表明，来自加里曼丹省火灾的烟雾也可能飘至新加坡，这些火灾发生在印尼另外三家公司通过特许权所持有的土地上。
The National Environment Agency said in a statement that it sent preventive measure notices last Friday to seven Indonesian agroforestry companies linked to fires in Sumatra province . Since then, it said that there were indications that smoke from fires in the Kalimantan province on lands held via concessions under three additional companies in Indonesia could also have moved to Singapore.
因此，该局表示，也将向加里曼丹省的三家公司发出预防措施通知：PT Buana Megatama Jaya、PT Mananjung Hayak 和 PT Baratama Putra Perkasa。
As such, it said it would also send preventive measure notices to the three companies in Kalimantan: PT Buana Megatama Jaya, PT Mananjung Hayak and PT Baratama Putra Perkasa.
该局在声明中表示，这些通知要求公司派出消防人员扑灭火灾或防止其在其所有或占用的土地上蔓延。公司还必须停止任何正在进行的燃烧活动，避免启动新的燃烧行为，并提交行动计划，详细说明扑灭火灾和防止其复发的措施。
The notices require the companies to deploy firefighting personnel to extinguish fires or prevent them from spreading on land they own or occupy, the agency said in a statement. They must also stop any ongoing burning activities, refrain from starting new ones and submit action plans detailing measures to put out fires and prevent them from recurring.
此前的七家公司是：纸浆木供应商PT Bumi Andalas Permai、PT Bumi Mekar Hijau、PT Paramitra Mulia Langgeng、PT Sumatera Alam Anugerah、PT SBA Wood Industries、PT Hutan Lestari Raya 和 PT Bangkanesia。
The earlier seven companies are pulpwood supplier PT Bumi Andalas Permai, PT Bumi Mekar Hijau, PT Paramitra Mulia Langgeng, PT Sumatera Alam Anugerah, PT SBA Wood Industries, PT Hutan Lestari Raya and PT Bangkanesia.
这些通知并不意味着这些公司在新加坡雾霾问题上承担法律责任。但若满足违法行为的法律要件，这些通知将为起诉和处以财务罚款提供依据。
The notices don’t amount to a finding that the companies are legally responsible for the haze in Singapore. But they allow prosecution and financial penalties if the legal requirements for an offense are met.
印度尼西亚的森林与土地火灾产生的浓重烟雾弥漫至邻国新加坡、马来西亚及东南亚其他地区，导致部分地区的空气污染水平升至不健康甚至危险程度，严重影响了人们的日常生活，迫使学校停课并采取了多项公共卫生措施。在加里曼丹的部分地区，烟雾还使天空呈现出橙黄色。
Forest and land fires in Indonesia have sent thick haze across neighbouring Singapore, Malaysia and other parts of Southeast Asia, pushing air pollution to unhealthy and hazardous levels in some areas, disrupting daily life and prompting school closures and public health measures. The smoke has also turned skies orange in parts of Kalimantan.
据印度尼西亚林业部统计，今年1月至7月间，全国共有超过2020平方公里的土地被烧毁；而“努沙登加拉地图集”项目估算，截至8月底，被烧毁的土地面积已接近8960平方公里。
Indonesia’s Forestry Ministry has recorded more than 2,020 square kilometers (780 square miles) of burned land between January and July, while the Nusantara Atlas project estimated that nearly 8,960 square kilometers (3,460 square miles) had burned by the end of August.
新加坡国家安全统筹部长K·尚穆甘透露，新加坡交易所也已向7家在新加坡上市的农业企业询问其经营状况，以及它们是否与引发烟雾的印尼火灾存在关联。
Singapore Coordinating Minister for National Security K. Shanmugam said that the Singapore Exchange has also sought information from seven Singapore-listed agricultural companies about their operations and possible links to fires in Indonesia that have caused haze in the country.
他指出，此次烟雾污染“完全是可以预防的”，并警告那些与火灾有关的企业切勿以为能够逃避责任。他重申，这一问题“绝非单纯的自然现象”，而是企业逐利行为所致。
He said that the smog was “entirely preventable” and warned companies linked to the fires that they shouldn’t think that they can get away from taking responsibility. He reiterated that the problem was “not simply an act of nature,” but one driven by companies pursuing profits.
“这些企业或许认为取证困难，以为能够逃过监管。但它们绝不可低估新加坡政府采取行动的决心，”他在接受新加坡广播公司CNA采访时说道。
“They may think that it is hard to get evidence, and that they may think that they can escape scrutiny. But they should not underestimate the Singapore government’s determination to act,” he said in remarks carried by Singapore broadcaster CNA.
“如果公司拒绝合作，无论它们在新加坡是否有业务，我们都将动用手中所有的法律和监管杠杆，在关键处施加压力，包括它们的利润、融资渠道以及投资者对它们的评价。”尚穆根表示，印尼官员称新加坡的氧气来自无雾霾的印尼森林，从而轻视危机的言论“令人失望”。他说，当地区人民因印尼公司违规行为导致的雾霾而受苦时，此类言论不恰当。
“If companies refuse to cooperate, regardless of whether they have a presence in Singapore or do not have a presence in Singapore, we will use every legal and regulatory lever at our disposal to exert pressure where it matters, including on their bottom lines, including on their access to financing, and including on their standing with investors.”Shanmugam said that it was “disappointing” that an Indonesian official had belittled the crisis by saying Singapore gets oxygen from Indonesian forests where there is no haze. He said that such comments were inappropriate when people across the region are suffering from the haze because of the “bad behavior” of companies breaching regulations in Indonesia.
他欢迎印尼总统普拉博沃·苏比安托应对火灾的努力，包括接受外国援助扑灭火焰。他指出，普拉博沃已更换负责消防和灾害救援的机构负责人，制定了针对泥炭土地焚烧的指令，并将火灾预防作为长期解决方案予以优先考虑。
He welcomed the efforts of Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto to tackle the fires, including accepting foreign assistance to put out the flames. He noted that Prabowo has replaced the head of the agency responsible for firefighting and disaster relief, put in place directives against slash-and-burn practices on peatland, and prioritized fire prevention as a long-term solution.
印尼最高安全部长杜东·阿卜杜拉赫曼周一表示，政府目前不会将森林大火宣布为国家灾难，坚称尽管邻国雾霾问题日益严峻，印尼仍有能力应对危机。
Indonesia’s top security minister, Dudung Abdurachman, said on Monday that the government wouldn’t declare the forest fires a national disaster for now, insisting that the country remained capable of handling the crisis, despite mounting haze concerns in neighboring countries.
