History:
Since it gets located in the Potong Pasir SMC, a previous opposition ward ruled by the Singapore People Party until 2011, the Potong Pasir station has been one of Singapore’s most politically engaged stations. Because of these political considerations, the station planned name was Sennett. The route planners did not appear to want the station linked to the estate. It gets decided that it will remain closed permanently. In response to Chiam See Tong’s desires, the station gets founded. Potong Pasir gets chosen to avoid confusion with another Sennett Estate in Singapore’s eastern district on Upper East Coast Road.
