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.
