altering the work. Soh reflected that the work allowed him to mature as an artist, and he expressed hope that the work would "liven up" the plain environment of the station and provide something fresh to the commuters and brighten up their day. Art Seats The CCL station features two sets of Art Seats designed to enhance the commuters' experience on the line yet functional. Two entries, both by Lui Honfay and Yasmine Chan, were selected through the International Art Seats Design Competition in 2006. The first entry – Matrix, which received the top prize in the international competition – consists of a series of benches engraved with the station name in a dot-matrix style on the seat surface. The dot-matrix system was used as it was flexible enough to be mass-produced for use in many stations. Another entry, Rain, showcases steel seats in the shape of water puddles instead of the ordinary stone seats in other MRT stations.

In response to calls and letters from light-night passengers claiming to witness headless ghosts at the station, The New Paper went to investigate in October 1988 but did not uncover any ghosts. The MRTC, the operator of the station, has said the operations and their staff have not been impacted by any alleged "sightings" but confirmed that the station was at the site of the former cemetery. In April 2005, The Straits Times investigated and debunked several accounts of ghosts at the station. One account mentioned a passenger being in a late-night train which did not stop at the station. When the passenger confronted the driver, the driver claimed to witness ghosts at the station when he pointed out that he could seen more people than what the commuter could see. The station operator confirmed that trains do bypass stations at times, although usually these trains are
