Location Buangkok Buangkok station in Singapore

Buangkok MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the North East Line (NEL) in Singapore. Located underneath the road of Sengkang Central, the station is near the junction with Compassvale Bow and serves the residential town of Buangkok. The station will also serve a future bus interchange and Sengkang Grand Residencies, an integrated commercial and residential development. The station is operated by SBS Transit.

First announced in March 1996 and beginning construction in April 1997, Buangkok station was one of two stations on the NEL to remain closed when the line began operations on 20 June 2003, which upset residents in the area. Despite grassroot leaders' lobbying, the government supported SBS Transit's decision, labeling the station a "white elephant" if it had opened.

In protest, eight white cardboard elephants were put up in August 2005 during youth minister Vivian Balakrishnan's visit to Punggol South. A grassroot leader was sternly warned after a police investigation into the incident. After the Land Transport Authority reevaluated the station's feasibility, Buangkok station opened on 15 January 2006 with a walk-a-jog to the station.

Buangkok station is a designated Civil Defence shelter and is wheelchair-accessible. White Teflon sheets cover the two entrances of the station. An Art-in-Transit artwork by Vincent Leow, Water, Nature & Contemporary, is displayed at this station.
