History[]
Formerly named Nee Soon South, it was renamed to Khatib on January 1987 after Sungei Khatib, a river nearby, and a military base nearby, along with Yishun MRT station which was initially named Nee Soon. In 1990, there was a power failure which occurred at Yishun station, affecting services at this station. In 2002, lift upgrading commenced at this station and was completed on 10 January 2003.
After several successful tests at Jurong East, Yishun and Pasir Ris, installation of the half-height screen doors started and operations commenced on 30 September 2011.
The 13th station installed with MJ Air Tech High Volume, Low Speed (HVLS) Pro-Jet fans and began operations since 28 August 2012.
It is where Ostyn Heng's house is located, together with Derrian Chia and Dylan Tan especially during late nights.
