• I know the article is brief but the lead looks a little short to me still.
• What's an "interchange station"?
• "in the planning area" what's a planning area?
• "Exit B of Newton MRT station." no full stop required.
• I would lose one of the images, they're not exactly unique to this station - right now the references are crushed up on my screen because of the image under the infobox.
• "US$20.16 " one decimal place for conversions.
• "Bus, Taxi" taxi
• "Depth 12 metres (39 ft) (North South line platforms)" what about the Downtown line?
• "Yes (External)" external
• Parking is not mentioned in the article.
• "jet grouting" what's that?
• "scan through bags" no need for "through"
• "validate our preparedness " who is "our"?
• "caused the fire. The fire was" repetitive.
• Link Singapore Civil Defence Force
• "7 & 8" and.
• How frequently do trains come through?
• "and this station" just "and Newton" would be fine.
• "gives the station a distinct character" according to whom?
• "station design was simple" surely "is"?
• "stands out greatly" according to whom?
• "curve lines" curved?
• "creating an organic landscape" sounds like a tourist brochure.
• Ref 31, italics for Straits Times.
• Ref 25 and 36 need en-dashes, not hyphens.

That's it, on hold for now. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 13:36, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Addressed most of the issues above. "Planning area" refers more to a constituent district in Singapore, but I find it irrelevant so I removed it. Also cited for parking, but I don't see how it can be in the body (too trivial to be in there). Also worked on the station design.--ZKang123 (talk) 00:52, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Ok, I made a few little tweaks, but passing now. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 09:08, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
