History of Siglap MRT station
The station was first announced in August 2014 as one of the stops planned for the eastern section of the line. Its name was settled after a public poll in October 2015, in which “Siglap South” was also put forward. Delays linked to the COVID-19 pandemic pushed the opening back by a year, and the station finally welcomed passengers on 23 June 2024 together with the rest of Stage 4, two days after a public open house.
Inside Siglap MRT station
The station is wheelchair accessible and has a single island platform, so trains in both directions stop on either side of the same platform. A motif of modular cubes runs from the exits, where it brings in natural light, down to the platforms, and a green roof echoes the nearby Siglap Linear Park.
Siglap is also designated as a Civil Defence shelter. Two artworks are on display: The Darkness which Reveals by Melissa Tan, made of layered steel and inspired by the name Siglap, which comes from the Malay word gelap (dark), and Journey Across Sunlight: A Siglap Mosaic by Brian Gothong Tan, a glass mosaic commissioned by Victoria School alumni.

Closer to the station, Siglap Park is around 3 minutes away, while Siglap South Community Centre, about 7 minutes on foot, serves the local community.
