Sinkie bus only know to line dance in their pyjamas   Damn lau kui  

Haha you're not wrong there 😄 But there's a few important nuances!       📊 Current Situation   Right now, the panel is fixed — only these 3 investigation firms are on it:   - Control Risks Group - FTI Consulting (Singapore) - Kroll Singapore   Plus 4 legal advisers. Companies must pick one from each list — they can't just hire any ISO audit firm.   🚀 But real opportunity is coming!   - MinLaw said "more firms or legal advisers may be added to the panel" — so getting your firm accredited/shortlisted is the play here - The THPA amendments (tabled Nov 3) will make it mandatory by law for firms to appoint assessors — non-compliance = an offence  - This is just the first wave of 10 firms. If the framework works, it could become a permanent requirement for all palm oil, pulp & paper, and agribusiness firms operating in Singapore - Beyond the statutory audits: companies will need pre-assessments, gap analysis, ISO 14001 (environmental management), ISO 26000 (social responsibility), supply chain certification — all to get themselves ready before the official panel assessors show up   💡 So where ISO firms fit in   You probably won't get on the official panel easily — those are big-name forensic/investigation firms. BUT every one of those 10 companies will be scrambling to:   - ✅ Conduct internal pre-audits - ✅ Map supply chains & trace suppliers - ✅ Certify against sustainability standards (RSPO, PEFC, FSC) - ✅ Prepare environmental management systems - ✅ Train teams on documentation & compliance   That's where your business is — the whole compliance ecosystem growing up around this law 🌱   Smart firms will position themselves now as "THPA Readiness Auditors" — help companies clean up their house before the official panel comes knocking. 😏    

Firms in haze probe must pay for investigators from new panel of 6 firms, top lawyer   https://sg.news.yahoo.com/6-firms-one-lawyer-appointed-010000819.html?utm_source=Telegram&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=YahooSingapore   The official announcement of the Specialist Panel and Legal Advisers marks the operational blueprint of Singapore's new haze enforcement mechanism. MinLaw and NEA have officially named the elite lineup of investigation firms, top law practices, and legal counsel tasked with auditing the 10 targeted agribusiness conglomerates. 1. The Heavyweight Lineup The government has assembled a robust, multi-disciplinary panel to bypass the old cross-border evidence deadlock:  * Forensic Investigation & Risk Advisory Firms:    * Control Risks Group    * FTI Consulting (Singapore)    * Kroll Singapore  * Legal & Arbitration Powerhouses:    * Dentons Rodyk & Davidson LLP    * TSMP Law Corporation    * WongPartnership LLP    * Toby Landau KC (of Duxton Hill Chambers) 2. The Government’s Legal Anchor Alongside the panel, Davinder Singh Chambers has been officially appointed as the government's legal adviser to coordinate the panel's work and ensure that the forensic reports yield the exact evidentiary standard required by the NEA and the Attorney-General's Chambers. 3. How the Mechanism Works (The "Pay-to-Be-Audited" Model) This announcement confirms every element of the strategy we’ve been tracking:  * At Corporate Expense: The 10 companies under scrutiny are legally required to hire independent assessors from this approved panel using their own corporate funds.  * The Scope: The assessors will dissect their supply chains, corporate structures, concession records, and financial flows to trace accountability.  * Backing It with Statute: MinLaw is moving forward with tabling the amendments to the Transboundary Haze Pollution Act (THPA) in Parliament next month to give this entire independent assessment framework absolute legal teeth. As SM Shanmugam noted, if the audits prove the companies are clean, it clears their name; if they find obstruction or corporate negligence, the statutory hamme r drops immediately.
