Smog from forest fires in Indonesia’s Sumatra has made air quality in Singapore harmful for human’s health.

Singapore’s Environment and Water Resources Minister Masagos Zulkifli asked for more efforts to be made to completely eliminate the haze problems though fewer fire hotspots were recorded in Indonesia.

International cooperation is needed to tackle the worsening haze in Singapore.

The hazy conditions and poor air quality in Singapore have further deteriorated as an even denser haze from Indonesia has blown in, said Singapore's National Environment Agency (NEA) on September 24.

Indonesia is investigating 10 firms over worsening forest fires that have created a blanket of smog over Southeast Asia, according to the country’s authorities.
