Bukit Purmei MRT Station

Bukit Purmei MRT Station (NS2) will be a future Mass Rapid Transit station on the North East MRT Line in Singapore. The station's characteristics are currently under planning and evaluation. Its location is unknown but it will either serve the Malaysian-Singapore railway station or Keppel Harbour. So far, little is known as the LTA has not commented much about it.
Like the reserved Canberra MRT Station and Sungei Kadut MRT Station, it will probably be built by 2020 and it has not been constructed. If built, it will probably help relieve the congestion in HarbourFront MRT Station a little.
History
In the LTA original plans for the North East Line, there were plans for 16 stations including the unopened Woodleigh MRT Station and the low-yielding Clarke Quay MRT Station and Buangkok MRT Station. But when SBS Transit opened the line, NE1 was HarbourFront and NE3 was Outram Park, meaning that there are plans for a future station coded NE2 in between these two adjacent stations. The station is expected to serve the Bukit Purmei estate.
Other than possible low yielding, the station may not be built anytime soon due to political reasons. The station would have been located near the Malaysia-owned railway lands and construction would require the need to seek their permission.
