Suspects of forest fires

Your front page article 30 firms named suspects of forest fires on Saturday, Nov. 1 seems to be lacking any published names of those 30 logging companies found guilty. How very curious?

Are we to assume that Indonesian people, especially in Kalimantan and Sumatra, do not deserve to know the identity of these companies and be given an apology?

I wonder if there is a connection to a very important person and his cronies in this cover-up.
