Excerpt from Wikipedia
Simei MRT station is an above-ground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the East–West line in Tampines planning area, Singapore, at the centre of Simei housing estate flanked by Simei Street 1 and Simei Street 3 next to Eastpoint Mall. This station primarily serves Simei, a residential estate part of the larger Tampines New Town.
Simei station and the estate it serves is a Pinyin romanization of four beauties in Chinese, which in turn was named after four ancient Chinese women.
History
The contract for the construction of Simei station, along with the stations and tracks for the segment of the MRT network between Changi Depot and Pasir Ris, was awarded to a joint venture between Resource Development Corporation and Sata Kogyo for S$92 million in March 1986. Construction of the station began in May 1986, and the station was opened with the East–West line from Tanah Merah to Pasir Ris on 17 December 1989.
Like other existing aboveground stations at the time, half height platform screen doors were installed at SImei station by 2012. High-volume low-speed fans were also installed on the platform's ceiling in 2011.
Details
Simei station is located on the East–West line, between Tampines and Tanah Merah, and has the station code "EW3". The station features a dome-shaped concrete roof, similar to that found at several other stations on the EWL.
