Oasis LRT station (PE6) is an LRT station on the Punggol LRT Line East Loop in Singapore. It was opened on 15 June 2007, more than 2 years after the rest of the line opened (except Damai) in January 2005 after more residents had moved into the HDB blocks adjacent to the station. Previously, residents in the area had to take a ten minutes walk to the nearest bus stop, as there were no bus services serving the station's vicinity.[1] It is the first LRT station to be opened after the delay and is operated by SBS Transit.

[edit] Etymology

The station took its name of Oasis Residents’ Committee (RC) near the station.
