Simei station in Singapore

Simei MRT station is an above-ground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the East–West line in Tampines, Singapore. Operated by SMRT Trains, the station serves the eponymous Simei residential estate and Eastpoint Mall. Other nearby landmarks include Changkat Primary and Secondary School.

First announced in May 1982 as Tampines South, it was to be constructed as part of Phase II of the MRT system. The name was later changed in 1983 to Simei station. Before constructing the station, 15,000 square metres (18,000 sq yd) of land was acquired for viaducts leading to the station. It commenced operations on 17 December 1988 along with the other stations on the Tanah Merah-Pasir Ris stations stretch, with the opening ceremony held in Simei station.

Built with an island platform, the station has a "rib cage" roof design with a distinctive colour of nutmeg brown on its restricted areas and ceiling trunking box for easier identification.
