The station was originally not going to be open with the rest of the East West Line in between 1988 and 1989 as there were only private houses surrounding it, but increasing pressure from Members of Parliament and the public forced SMRT to open this station. When it opened, the demand was extremely stagnant, with only private houses, Bedok South housing estates and Fengshan housing estates to cater to. The demand increased when Singapore Expo and the MRT line to Changi Airport opened.

Tanah Merah (EW4) is an elevated Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the East–West Line.

The station is the only interchange station not to be part of two or more lines, due to it being an interchange between the main line and its extension. The station is also the only MRT interchange station to have only one official alphanumeric symbol. However, to specify the separation of the extension with the main line, the code

2S

will be used instead.

Similar to other stations on the eastern section of the East West Line, the station's design consists of white-washed walls and a dome-shaped ceiling, with a glass roof running along the middle of the station.
