Actually, building the station early helps to lower the costs.
Next time, just need to do some spring cleaning and can start to use the station to serve the local community already.
Just like Teck Lee LRT station at Punggol.
It’s actually more costs effective to build early, and later just do a bit of spring cleaning to get the station ready for operation.
It was fully built and furnished, but lacked the maps and the signs showing what station you are in
Oh when will the housing developments open!? (Will they be like Teck Lee LRT and Gali Batu Ter?) (if they open early then Mount Pleasant station can open early XD)
I guess in a decades time. Somewhere in the 2030s I think?
Seriously? That long?
impossible right plus its fully built and furnished the air con is on the staion is fullt on but not open
