Art in Transit
The artwork featured in this station under the Art in Transit programme is Lieutenant Adnan by Ho Tzu Nyen. Located on the lift shaft in the station and around the station are mock posters for a fictional movie about Lt Adnan bin Saidi (played by Singapore actor Aaron Aziz), a real-life war hero who fought in the Battle of Pasir Panjang during World War II. Today a memorial dedicated to Lt Adnan is located at Reflections at Bukit Chandu, a museum near the site of the battle.

Famous quotes containing the words art and/or transit:
“There are two kinds of truth; the truth that lights the way and the truth that warms the heart. The first of these is science, and the second is art.... Without art science would be as useless as a pair of high forceps in the hands of a plumber. Without science art would become a crude mess of folklore and emotional quackery.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“My esoteric doctrine, is that if you entertain any doubt, it is safest to take the unpopular side in the first instance. Transit from the unpopular, is easy ... but from the popular to the unpopular is so steep and rugged that it is impossible to maintain it.”
—William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)
