Bedok MRT Station (EW5) is an above-ground Mass Rapid Transit station on the East West Line in Singapore. It is located between Kembangan and Tanah Merah stations, and serves the large neighbourhood of Bedok. This station is one of the most widely used stations in eastern Singapore, being crowded at most times of the day.

Bedok MRT Station is one of two stations on the eastern side of the East West Line that lies directly in the middle of a road. It is in the centre of New Upper Changi Road, separating the dual carriageway road in the middle. Underpasses connect the station to both sides of the road (as opposed to overhead bridges on the western part). The station is 100m away from the Bedok Bus Interchange via a covered linkway.
Like many above-ground MRT stations, the station was initially built without platform screen doors to prevent passengers from falling off the platform. After several successful tests in Pasir Ris, Yishun and Jurong East MRT stations, installation of platform screen doors started on 4 November 2010 and started operations on 11 January 2011.

On 30 September 2000, a 70 year-old man was killed along the elevated tracks when he was hit by an MRT train near the Bedok station toward Kembangan MRT Station. Police were notified at 9:47 p.m., and the man was pronounced dead around 10:30 p.m. by Singapore Civil Defence Force officers. It took six police and SCDF officers to pull the body out from under the train. According to passengers interviewed, announcements over the public-address system said there was a technical problem with the tracks.
Train services between Eunos and Tanah Merah stations, both east- and west-bound, were disrupted for about 1½ hours, up to 11:20 p.m. Hundreds of passengers were told to get off the trains and use the bus services which were added to ferry passengers between the Eunos and Tanah Merah stations.
Train services were disrupted at stations between Eunos and Tanah Merah in the eastbound direction for about an hour on the afternoon of 7 May 2010. This was due to a track incident at Bedok Station.
About 96,500 commuters were affected when a 54-year-old man was hit by a train at around 1.45pm. Westbound services were not affected. All train services resumed at about 3pm. Twenty-four free bus bridging services were deployed for the commuters affected by the disruption.[1][2]
