Singapore and as the name implies, serves the ethnic neighbourhood of Little India. On the North East line, it is between the Dhoby Ghaut Interchange and Farrer Park MRT stations.Because it is an underground MRT station and has a ventilation system complete with
air-conditioning , it is deep enough to shield those inside. Hence, it has the peripheral role of being abomb shelter . This explains why the station consists of two levels.This station was built in the heart of Little India, with
Tekka Centre andTekka Mall within walking distance of the station.This station is proposed to be an
interchange station to the futureDowntown MRT Line .The artwork featured under the Art in Transit programme is "Memoirs of the Past" by S. Chandrasekaran. The animal paintings echos the past of Little India when buffalo stables were seen.
