Jambi (ANTARA News) - Singapore has donated Rp6.2 billion in fund to help prevent forest and bush fires in the Indonesian province of Jambi, Governor Zulkifli Nurdin said.
The assistance was a follow up to cooperation between the Indonesian and Singaporean governments in fighting forest and bush fires, he said here on Wednesday.
In addition, the neighboring country also provided the province with technical assistance in making a master plan for the prevention of forest and bush fires, he said.
He said a Singaporean delegation led by Director General of Environmental Protection at the National Environment Agency Josefh Hui visited the province a few days ago to sign a letter of intent with the local government on the prevention of forest and bush fires.
The project was located at Sungai Aur and Arang-Arang villages, Muaro district, he said.
He admitted that the haze caused by forest and bush fires in Jambi had reached the island state.
