What happened
Jakarta started cutting pipeline supplies of natural gas to Singapore. This action followed Singapore's announcement of measures against 10 Indonesian companies regarding wildfires on the Indonesian islands of Borneo and Sumatra. The gas supply cut may be linked to Singapore aggressively shifting toward liquefied natural gas (LNG) and away from piped energy from its neighbors.
