===Cracks appearing on homes near the station===
===Structural integrity===
The Land Transport Authority has taken steps to repair damages to at least 40 Watten Estate homes, believed to be linked to the construction of the Downtown Line. Residents of the terraced and semi-detached houses at Bukit Timah complained that they began noticing hairline cracks in walls inside and outside their homes between July and August 2012. They added that cracks began widening in those weeks. Besides cracks, some car porch roofs and walls had shifted, and some gates could no longer open. The houses in the upscale neighbourhood where home prices start in the millions, are across from the site of the upcoming Tan Kah Kee MRT station. Checks were made by LTA and the houses were found to be structurally safe.<ref>[http://www.asiaone.com/Motoring/News/Story/A1Story20120916-371868.html "MRT works cause cracks in Bukit Timah homes"].

==Art in Transit==
===Incorrect Tamil name===
''Gratitude'' and ''Resilience'' by Hwa Chong Institution are artworks inspired by Tan Kah Kee's remarkable philanthropic legacy and to reflect on what it means to give back to society. The latter reflects on what it means to be resilient in times of hardship.
During the {{DTL|b=}} 2 open house on 5 December 2015, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) was informed by netizens that the Tamil translation of the station was incorrect. An apology was issued in the evening for the error and the error was rectified.<ref>[//web.archive.org/web/20151208195015/www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/lta-apologises-for-incorrect-tamil-translation-of-downtown-line-2s-tan-kah-kee "LTA apologises for incorrect Tamil translation of Downtown Line 2's Tan Kah Kee station"].

Tan Kah Kee (DT8) is a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the Downtown Line.

History[edit]

Date Event
27 December 2015 Station officially opened

Structural integrity[edit]

Between July and August 2012, concerns were raised on the structural integrity of terraced and semi-detached residences surrounding the station, believed to be linked to the construction of the Downtown Line. This came after complaints about hairline cracks appearing on walls inside and outside the affected properties. It was understood that cracks began widening in the period of investigation. Apart from the cracks, some car porch roofs and walls had shifted, and some gates could no longer be opened. Checks were made by the authority and the houses were found to be structurally safe. Additional steps were taken to repair damages to at least 40 Watten Estate properties.[1]

Incorrect Tamil name[edit]

During the Downtown Line 2 open house on 5 December 2015, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) was informed by netizens that the Tamil translation of the station was incorrect. An apology was issued in the evening for the error and the error was rectified.[2]

Artworks[edit]
