After a disgruntled constituent tried to set his member of
Parliament on fire, the People’s Arson, sorry, sorry
Action Party has unveiled a new uniform for its Heat,
sorry, sorry, Meet-The-People sessions.
“In this economic climate, meeting the public can be literally too
hot to handle,” said PAP spokesman Mr. Gerry Mandhir. “As one of
our members found out the hard way when some crazy ah pek set him
on fire.”
Accordingly, the Party is issuing all its MPs new full-body flame
retardant outfits, for use during walkabouts, Meet-The-People
sessions, baby contests, constituency dinners, etc.
“If citizens are willing to immolate their MP for giving $200 ang
paos,” said Mr. Mandhir, “who knows what they’ll do when they learn
that their MPs are also taking $46000
cordon bleu holidays and donno what else. These special suits
will ensure that citizens will stay out of our elite, but not
fireproof, faces.”
Meanwhile, the Internal Security Department is
interrogating the 70 year-old assailant to see if he is part of a
terrorist senior citizen network out to harm MPs.
Said ISD spokesman Mr. Kwee Leng Kee, “If citizens want to play
with fire, we will give them the air-con treatment.”
