SINGAPORE – Transboundary haze originating from Indonesia will not be an issue anymore, even amid the hotter and drier season of El Nino, because the country is well prepared for this, said Indonesia’s Coordinating Minister for Maritime and Investment Affairs Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan.
Mr Luhut, who was in charge of managing the haze in 2016, said that the problem has declined since then. El Nino – the global weather phenomenon that brings hotter and drier weather to South-east Asia and Australia – is predicted to arrive in the second half of 2023. The last El Nino cycle – a weaker one in 2018 and 2019 – also led to transboundary haze, and Singapore experienced unhealthy air quality for a few weeks in 2019.
