History
Bedok MRT station opened on 4 November 1989 along with all other EWL stations from Bugis to Tanah Merah.[1][2]
Like many above-ground MRT stations, the station was initially built without platform screen doors to prevent passengers from falling off the platform and onto the train tracks. Installation of platform screen doors started on 4 November 2010 and started operations on 11 January 2011 along with Paya Lebar station as a safety precaution, followed by HVLS fans that subsequently began operations on 26 June 2012.[3][4]
