Raja Antoni, Indonesia's Minister of Forestry, announced on 2026-09-03 that, with President Prabowo Subianto's approval, he suspended the business licenses of five companies in connection with forest and land fires in West Kalimantan, covering a combined 371,560 hectares managed under forest utilization permits (PBPH). ^[1] Raja Antoni stated that the sanctions are not limited to license suspension and that the government is also imposing forced environmental restoration, with the case possibly proceeding to criminal prosecution if criminal indications are found. ^[2] The five suspended companies are PT Mahkota Rimba Utama (74,480 hectares, natural forest, Ketapang regency), PT Hutan Ketapang Industri (100,150 hectares, plantation forest, Ketapang), PT Mayawana Persada Mas (136,710 hectares, plantation forest, Ketapang), PT Duta Andalan Sukses (31,080 hectares, plantation forest, Sanggau), and PT Wana Lestari Jaya (29,140 hectares, plantation forest, Sanggau). ^[3] Raja Juli Antoni stated that the suspension follows directives from President Prabowo Subianto to strengthen law enforcement against forest fire perpetrators. ^[4] The government mandated that the suspended companies perform ecosystem restoration and will pursue criminal legal proceedings if legal violations are found. ^[5] Raja Antoni said law enforcement will be fair and non-discriminatory, and that if companies fail to comply, the legal process can escalate to criminal charges, with the law applied 'as sharply as possible'. ^[6]
