Minister Vivian Balakrishnan, a man, not aware that “Vivian” is a lady’s name

Minister Vivian Balakrishnan is not aware that he has a woman’s name. This shocking news was revealed after a letter was received from a French diplomat to his office, addressed to “Madame Vivian Balakrishnan”. The minister then went on to assure the Singapore public that he is indeed, yes, a man. As the word “yes man” is common in Singapore, but “yes woman” is not common, most Singaporeans believe the minister is telling the truth.

      Yes same thing happened to us. We named our kitten cat Lucy as my partner could not find a penis(was too small to notice). Later on when the cat grew and balls more established we named him Lucifer.

  5. Link exchange is nothing else but it is simply placing the other person’s website link on your page at proper place and other person will also do similar in favor of you.

  6. […] am sure some useless minister with a sissy name from the PAP (yes, I’m referring to you, Vivian) will come out and urge Singaporeans to get […]
