On 27 October, Singapore and Indonesia agreed to launch a joint task force aimed at sharing information, conducting financial intelligence work and recovering assets from companies tied to transboundary forest-fire haze. The agreement builds on steps taken earlier in the month.

On 23 October, ten Singapore-based palm-oil and forestry firms confirmed receipt of notices from the National Environment Agency under the Transboundary Haze Pollution Act and said they would cooperate with the agency’s information request. Later, Environment Minister Grace Fu announced plans to amend the Act to close enforcement gaps and strengthen corporate accountability for haze originating abroad.

The claim that Indonesia and Singapore agreed on October 27, 2026, to form a bilateral task force for sharing information and pursuing financial intelligence related to transboundary haze-causing forest fires is partially confirmed. The claims that on October 26, 2026, ten Singapore-based oil palm and forestry companies acknowledged receipt of National Environment Agency notices under the Transboundary Haze Pollution Act and that on October 24, 2026, the National Environment Agency served notices under Singapore's haze law to ten companies both have insufficient evidence.
