During the construction, on 26 May 1985, there was a landslide at the site due to the collapse of the wall supporting the excavation. Those in the nearby St Andrew's Cathedral were evacuated as a safety precaution, as the Cathedral may risk collapse. The Cathedral was eventually declared safe for use and operations resumed on 2 June, while advising churchgoers not the use the half of the Cathedral close to the site. On 10 December, a Japanese foreman miner died at the construction site of the station, having fallen to his death. The man is the fourth fatality in the construction of the MRT network. Investigations revealed that it was entirely an accident, with all safety measures observed.
