Simei MRT station is an above-ground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the East–West line (EWL) in Tampines, Singapore. Operated by SMRT Trains, the station serves the eponymous Simei residential estate. Other nearby landmarks include Eastpoint Mall and Changkat Primary and Secondary School. Like other stations of the Tanah Merah-Pasir Ris stretch, the station has a domed roof design and a distinctive colour for its restricted areas and ceiling trunking box. It is wheelchair accessible
First announced in May 1982 as Tampines South, it was to be constructed as part of Phase II of the MRT system. The name was later changed in 1983. Before constructing the station, 15,000 square metres (18,000 sq yd) of land was acquired for viaducts leading to the station. It commenced operations on 17 December 1988 along with the other stations on the Tanah Merah–Pasir Ris stations stretch. In February 1995, an approaching train opened its doors too early as the train driver violated standard procedures, resulting in several people nearly falling. Accessibility enhancements were completed in July 2011 as well as additional bicycle parking facilities in October 2012. Half-height platform screen doors and high-volume low-speed fans were installed by August 2011 and the first quarter of 2013, respectively. Noise barriers were installed by 2018. The station was temporarily closed in December 2024 for track works for East Coast Integrated Depot (ECID).
