History

The station opened first on 28 May 2009 along with the rest of Stage 3 of the Circle Line due to the result of Nicoll Highway collapse on 20 April 2004. Before the station opened, Singapore Civil Defence Force conducted the third Shelter Open House at this station on April 4, 2009, together with Bartley and Bishan stations. The LTA also organised a Circle Line Discovery open house on May 23, 2009 on all stations of the Stage 3 of the Circle Line.

Controversy

In June 2003, Singapore Land Authority (SLA) offered Chuan Park (a 99-year leasehold condo near the site of the station) residents S$1 for 220 sq m of land, which comprised mainly car park lots. The land was necessary to build the Circle MRT Line. The 99-year leasehold condominium at Lorong Chuan, off Serangoon Avenue 3, has 446 units, so the compensation works out to just 0.2 cents a household. Outraged residents say the amount was too 'ridiculous' to even consider. Eventually, the car park was rebuilt and returned to Chuan Park.
