As reported in The Straits Times. 17/10/2015.

"Indonesia arrests seven company executives for illegal forest fires."

"Suspects from the latest bust included a senior executive from Bumi Mekar Hijau, a unit of Singapore based Asia Pulp and Paper (APP), which is also Indonesia's largest pulp and paper producer."

"The Environment and Forestry Ministry had previously demanded that Bumi Mekar Hijau pay 7.8 trillion rupiah (S$780 million) to the State for damages from burning land.
If found guilty again this time, the company's management could be jailed for up to 10 years."

Well at least it's a start.

Interesting how Singapore that crow the loudest about haze and "those stupid and corrupt Indonesians" are the major cause of the problem.
