Singapore is choking on haze AGAIN. After years of dealing with this recurring problem, this year's Singapore haze could be one of the worst yet. So why are we STILL dealing with this?
From Indonesia's forest fires and palm oil companies to political tensions between Singapore and Indonesia, the haze crisis is more complicated than it seems.
In this episode, we dive into the politics, money and corporate interests behind Singapore's haze problem, a former Indonesian minister's criticism of Singapore, and why tackling transboundary haze pollution isn't as straightforward as we think.
Is Singapore doing enough to tackle the haze, or is the problem bigger than we realise?
