JAKARTA - Indonesia will not allow Singapore to prosecute its citizens over forest fires that
blanketed the region in toxic smog in 2015, media on Monday quoted Indonesian Vice President Jusuf Kalla as saying.
Singapore media said last week the city-state was planning to prosecute Indonesian polluters in
Singapore courts under the Transboundary Haze Pollution Act.
Home to the world's third-largest area of tropical forests, Indonesia has been criticised by green activists
and by neighbouring Southeast Asian nations for failing to stop the region's annual "haze" caused by
forest-clearing for palm and pulp plantations.
"The law that applies is in Indonesia," Kalla told reporters as quoted by Detik.com media portal.
Palm oil is a major growth driver for Indonesia, the world's biggest producer of the edible oil.
Indonesia's president pledged in April to tackle the fires by imposing a moratorium on expansion of plantations.

This incompetent VP Kalla thought that the Act is under Indo.
Perhaps we'll get a wikileak on this Indo director and his links to the current Indo Government!
