Bukit Chagar’s recent history includes the flats near the Causeway that were home to local residents. Demolition began in May 2008, marking a change in the area’s urban landscape.
A new chapter followed with the RTS Link. In February 2021, MRT Corp unveiled the winning station façade design, “The Integration of Two”, inspired by the longstanding relationship between Johor Bahru and Singapore.
