Street names!
We all know street names is usually related to historical figures that influenced the building of that particular street or place.
Like, Shenton way, it was named after Sir Shenton Thomas, then Governor of Singapore in 1934 to 1946 to commemorate his decision to stay in the city during the Japanese occupation of Singapore. Officially opened in 1951, it became known as Singapore's Wall Street when commercial developments and government officers were built there from the 1970s onwards, and continues to be a prime commercial address almost on par with that of Raffles Place today.
Then there's Dhoby Ghaut, because in the olden times, Dhobis call on regular clients, collect their dirty clothes and then take them to the Dhobi Ghats. Which is really the washer man and thus, the place where they usually wash the clothes now is call Dhoby Ghaut.
Now after all that, i want you to explain why the following places are named wht they are called today.

*yawn* boring... *yawn* ZzZzZz....

I am not even gonna try to pronouce that o_o"

That has to be THE shortest name of a village i've ever seen.

A lot of ladies goes there, i wonder why...
Now are your ready for the ultimate?!
