Kangkar station in detail
Kangkar is named after a former fishery that once operated in the area, a small trace of Sengkang's history before the new town replaced the farmland. It's a quiet residential stop today, four stops out from Sengkang on the East Loop, serving HDB blocks near the boundary with the neighbouring Hougang and Buangkok areas. There's nothing here beyond a coffee shop and the usual small parade of shops — this is a stop for people who live nearby, not a destination in itself, and most riders passing through are on their way to or from Ranggung, one stop further on.

Facilities at Kangkar

Kangkar — frequently asked questions
The Sengkang LRT East Loop (SE4), four stops out from Sengkang, with Ranggung the only stop remaining before the loop heads back — a quiet, residential corner of the estate near the Hougang boundary.
It’s close to the boundary between Sengkang and the Hougang/Buangkok area, though it’s served only by the Sengkang LRT rather than the North East Line stations in that direction.
Changing at Sengkang for the North East Line, a trip toward town falls in the middle of the S$1.28–S$2.57 adult SimplyGo fare range, depending on the exact destination.
