The Gahmen unveiled new containment suits to fend off the SARS virus today.
Ms. Anne Pire, a talented foreign clothing designer from abroad who has worked with couture houses like Gimmi Yormani and Oscar de Carrental, was hired by Temasek Clothings (a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore Technologies) to come up with brand new designs for the Gahmen.
Said Ms. Pire, “The Gahmen felt that their suits should be strongly symbolic of their leadership against the SARS epidemic. They really feel they need to be seen striking back.”
For regular People’s Action Party backbenchers, Ms Pire designed biohazard suits in their traditional all-white, “to ensure that constituents respond to them in the way that they always have when they see them trooping down their corridors.”
As leader of the country, the Prime Minister’s suit had to stand out. Ms. Pire explained, “It has special features such a special ventilation system which makes his breathing audible, so that people know that he’s still alive.’
Additionally, according to Ms. Pire, the PM’s suit has “specially-designed thermal circuits to warm his bottom, and any seats he may be occupying.”
On PM Goh’s departure at the next election, the suit will probably go to DPM Lee.
Ms. Pire smiled, “He’s already tried it on and he says it fits so well, it feels like he was born to wear it.”
Meanwhile, due to his advanced age, Senior Minister Lee is being outfitted with a suit made of much softer material.
“He’s so used to wearing his windcheater all the time,” said Ms. Pire. “So I guess some nice robes should do for him.”
When asked for the source of the inspiration for her designs, Ms. Pire said, “It was obvious once I studied the Singapore education system. It was clear how I should clothe an empire that is intent on raising an army of clones.”
Meanwhile, Ms. Pire has also praised the Gahmen for their willingness to wear daring designs. “And I’m also very impressed by their impartiality. They’ve even commissioned me to come up with suits for opposition MPs. They’re a little more downmarket. Not quite designer label suits, more like designer libel suits.”
