The Revolving Fund Committee (RFC) of the Straits of Malacca and Singapore was established on 11 February 1981 through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) involving coastal nations, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Japan-based non-governmental body, the Malacca Strait Council (MSC). The committee’s goal is to combat oil spill pollution from ships in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore. Efforts to form this committee began in 1971. All involved parties take turns leading the monitoring activities in the straits and managing the funds allocated to the RFC. The Department of Environment (DOE) actively conducts various activities within the member countries.

The fund is managed on a rotating basis among the three member countries Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore with a five-year term for each, starting with Indonesia, followed by Malaysia, and then Singapore.
