Stations no malay name.I think you're trying to say that Malay names are not given to stations. Yes, because most of the stations are either of Malay origin, impossible to convert (how do you convert Choa Chu Kang into Malay?) or when converted, does not bring any knowledge of the place (Tempat Raffles, Taman Cina, Hutan, Marin, just to name a few).

Let me guess,
Tempat Raffles --- Raffles Place?
Tamaan Cina --- Outram Park?Hutan -- Chinese Garden?
Marin -- Marina Bay?
I am just guessing by the name similar to certain chinese or english word. No offense intended. Please show the correct answer. Thanks!

Taman Cina means Chinatown.
Hutan means forest.

Marin means (???)I have thought of Chinatown but, there is a name called Kreta Ayer.
If Hutan means forest, then we got chances is in remote places / town. (But Tanah Merah looks Malay to me, so it cant be)

oh thanks for telling. :)
Btw, MRT stations no need to have the 'malay version' of it since most of our stations here are already in malay lol -

Hutan = Woodlands? A no-no for me since they would think Woodlands is a 'forest estate' when malaysian people come here to visit singapore.

Kranji ah.. no translation, however we could just say 'Stesen Kranji' for the malay version.
Format:
'Station XXXX' in Malay; word station (stesen) is pushed to the front while the station name retains. -

For the first and the last time, station names does NOT have the malay version. Instead we use 'stesen jurong east' as mentioned at my previous post. THANKS.
