First announced in March 1996 and beginning construction in April 1997, Buangkok station was one of two stations on the NEL to remain closed when the line began operations on 20 June 2003. After intense lobbying by grassroots leaders and residents, including a white elephant incident in 2005, the station opened on 15 January 2006. Buangkok station is a designated Civil Defence shelter and the two entrances of the station are enveloped by white Teflon sheets. An Art-in-Transit artwork Water, Nature and the Contemporary by Vincent Leow is displayed at the station.
