Platform Screen Doors
As with most of the above-ground stations along the East West Line, it was built without platform screen doors to prevent commuters from falling onto the train tracks. Installation of half-height platform screen doors was started on 28 October 2010 and started operations on 11 January 2011 with Bedok.
The Circle Line side of this station has been equipped with full-height platform screen doors since the operations started on 17 April 2010. Even though, it became the first ever underground MRT station with double-island platforms.

Famous quotes containing the words platform, screen and/or doors:
“I have never yet spoken from a public platform about women in industry that someone has not said, “But things are far better than they used to be.” I confess to impatience with persons who are satisfied with a dangerously slow tempo of progress for half of society in an age which requires a much faster tempo than in the days that “used to be.” Let us use what might be instead of what has been as our yardstick!”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.”
—Raoul Walsh, U.S. screen writer. Frisco Doll (Mae West)
“I am proud to be a member of a party that opens its doors to all men—and closes its hearts to none.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
