Buangkok MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the North East Line (NEL) in Singapore, located near the road intersection of Sengkang Central with Compassvale Bow. The station serves the residential neighbourhood of Buangkok; the Buangkok Bus Interchange; Sengkang Grand Residence and Sengkang Grand Mall, which is a integrated commercial and residential development.
The station was first announced in March 1996 and construction began in April 1997. Buangkok station remained closed when the NEL began operations on 20 June 2003, upsetting the area's residents. Despite lobbying by grassroots leaders, the government supported SBS Transit's decision, citing low expected usage that would have made the station a "white elephant". In a display of public dissatisfaction with the government, eight white cardboard elephants were put up when government minister Vivian Balakrishnan visited Punggol South in August 2005. The police investigated the incident and sternly warned a grassroots leader.
Following a re-evaluation by the Land Transport Authority, the station opened on 15 January 2006. The station, operated by SBS Transit. is a designated civil defence shelter and wheelchair accessible. The station design by Altoon + Porter Architects and 3HP Architects features white Teflon sheets that cover the station's two entrances. Water, Nature & Contemporary – an Art-in-Transit artwork by Vincent Leow – is displayed at the station.
