David Hoe on Transboundary Haze Pollution (Amendment) Bill

12:42 Min

MP David Hoe emphasised that the legal framework must protect small- and medium-sized enterprises from unrealistic supply chain tracing burdens and called for a transparent link between enforcement penalties and immediate financial relief for affected Singaporean households. He further called for a scientifically rigorous baseline to determine haze risk, workable guidelines for smaller businesses entangled in indirect commercial chains and alternative penalty frameworks like turnover-based fines to prevent giant corporate groups from exploiting subsidiary structures to bypass financial accountability. Mr Hoe spoke in parliament on Wednesday (Nov 4) in support of the Transboundary Haze Pollution (Amendment) Bill.
