The iconic SDAs, circa 2020, have been terrorising reminding Singaporeans to wear their masks properly and keep a safe distance from each other. Mainly spotted in malls and other crowded places in Singapore.

What you’ll need:

• A red polo tee or this Safe Distancing Ambassador vest, S$8.90
• Any pair of jeans
• ID cardholder with lanyard, S$3

Errant smokers, especially, keep a special lookout for these guys. Infamously equipped with body cameras, a backpack, white/black polo tee and sometimes wearing bright yellow vests and walking around in pairs, NEA officers are like ghosts that suddenly appear out of nowhere and start issuing fines.

People who smoke in non-designated zones run away, because anyone caught doing so can be fined S$200 if caught smoking in prohibited places, or up to S$1,000 if convicted in court. Now that’s scary.

What you’ll need:

• Body camera (good if you already have a GoPro, but if not, you can get a similar shape to replace it such as this chest bag, S$7.50)
• Reflective yellow vest, S$3.80
• White polo tee
• Any pair of jeans
• Any black backpack

Protect yourself fully, for real too, with this costume that requires you to don a full-on PPE kit. Just a warning, it might get really warm in there.

What you’ll need:

• PPE kit, S$19
• Hospital scrubs, S$20

This viral MV in various dialects featuring getai star Wang Lei encouraging folks to get vaccinated is all the rage these days.

What you need:

• Black and yellow jacket, from S​​$11.80
• Wig, S$5.19
• White pants, S$11.77
• White top, S$3.66
• Any pair of white shoes

“Where’s your badge?” Roam around shopping malls this Halloween and make the knees of Safe Entry personnels quake.

What you’ll need:

• Red tote bag, S$8.50
• Blue blouse, S$10.35
• Beige skirt, S$14
• Brown flats, S$10.50

In hindsight, these pieces of clothing are quite pretty on their own, so you can reuse these pieces in the future as well. Maybe just don’t wear them together. Yay to sustainable fashion!

When DORSCON Orange was announced in February 2020, many Singaporeans started panic-buying grocery items, especially stocking up on instant noodles and toilet paper. This lady, in particular, quickly became a national icon when someone snapped a picture of her trolley piled high with these essential supplies.

What you’ll need:

• Instant noodles, S$1.85 per packet
• Supermarket trolley (free, but remember to return them after use)

The auntie who made derogatory comments about other MRT commuters based on their race. Mainly seen on public transport taking photos and videos of everything with her trusty phone.

What you’ll need:

• Pink dress, S$12
• Black studded flats (her flats are actually S$86 from Pazzion, but here’s a similar one for S$13.35)
• Red satchel (hers was originally from Kate Spade, which costs over S$300, but here’s a cheaper alternative for S$8.25)

Let your creative juices and art talent flow with this low-budget DIY Safe Entry device costume.

What you’ll need:

All Singaporean drivers are on alert for the LTA traffic warden, better known as the ‘summons auntie’. They are usually spotted with their ticketing machine, ready to dish out fines to errant drivers who park in prohibited areas.
