During the [[2001 General Election]], Chiam See Tong and Sitoh Yih Pin of the Singapore People's Party and the People's Action Party respectively, both dangled the station as a carrot, and promised the residents that they would appeal for the station to be opened should they be voted into office, as part of their publicity campaigns. However, even though the SDA won the seat, the station eventually opened, and the station was renamed Potong Pasir to avoid confusion with Sennett Estate (which was located along Upper East Coast Road).

However, even though the SDA won the seat, the station eventually opened, and the station was renamed Potong Pasir, partly due to complaints from Chiam and residents. It was also claimed "the name made more sense".
 
There is another Sennett Estate in the eastern part of Singapore and is located along Upper East Coast Road. The name was changed to avoid confusion with this Sennett Estate.

It was also rumoured to continue staying closed when the North East Line opened in 2003.
