		It was completed together with the Northeast Line in mid 2004, but unlike most other stations, this one, together with Sennett station, was mothballed.
		The reason for keeping Buangkok closed was that there were not enough residents in the precinct, which would mean unprofitably low traffic.
		Buangkok soon became a byword for a heartless calculating government.

	Teens' white elephant T-shirt venture gets police attention: TODAY
		We have communicated to the event organiser that the fundraisers can still apply for a permit on Saturday, as long as they are able to produce a memo of understanding with the charitable organisation," said the police spokesperson on Friday night.
		The latest drama caps the bumpy ride surrounding the Buangkok MRT station, which will finally open after two-and-a-half years of lobbying, including the placement of eight cut-outs of white elephants in August, which resulted in the police issuing a stern warning to a grassroots leader.
		They wanted to "galvanise the youth of today to rise up from the apathy they are stereotyped with and take an active role in airing their views".

		The announcement to open Buangkok MRT station was made earlier this year, reversing an earlier decision for the station to remain closed as there were not enough residents within 400 metre radius of the station needed to justify its opening.

	pew-0400 Rally at Buangkok field (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		On Saturday night, 29 April 2006, I chose to go to the rally by the Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA), held at an open field in Buangkok.
		But after the experience of last night when traffic backed up for a kilometre as people tried to get to the rally site, the Buangkok location looked the easiest to get to.
		This was because the field was just adjacent to Buangkok metro station, now well-known for the saga of the white elephants in 2005.

	From a Singapore Angle
		There was a recent incident in which eight white elephants made out of cardboard were placed at the Buangkok MRT station on the North-East Line by some residents to convey their views on how the station is still as yet closed.
		This issue sparked off a huge debate amongst Singaporeans, not to mention provoked much interest in the closure of the station, the subsequent acts taken by the government, and expressing the views of Singaporeans in general.
		Rather, we are using the accidental fame of the elephants to spark interest in our project; they also serve as a reminder that legal boundaries are important and should be adhered to even while expressing one's views and opinions about political issues.

	Singapore’s free speech policy criticized : Financial Times
		HE opening of a light-rail commuter station would be a routine event in most countries, but the inauguration of a suburban stop for Singapore’s MRT system last weekend drew attention because of its role in a growing debate about free speech.
		Residents near the Buangkok station had been lobbying for more than two years for its opening after SBS Transit decided to mothball the already-built station because usage was expected to be low, and this would cause operating losses for the transport operator.
		The visit of a government minister to the area last year provoked a cheeky protest, with cartoon cut-outs of a white elephant posted around the closed station greeting his arrival.

		If it is really that attractive, the 200 untis would have been gone by now, and developer would have launched new units.
		However, I can fully empathize with you if you have bought a unit there - it is the best valued.

		The Buangkok and Blogging incident are fine examples although I have to agree the blogging thing was overboard, but how about the Buangkok protest.
		I guess the reason for the Buangkok arrest was to Nip the problem before it starts getting out of hand, one incident may also spark many to follow suit and start to make protests, we do not want riots do we?
		If higher managment in LTA were more passionate about the people they will open Buangkok even if it costs them millions in operations and make a loss.
