context_page_description: Kallang is a planning area and residential town located in the Central Region of Singapore.
  Development of the town is centered around the Kallang River, the longest river in Singapore. Kallang Planning Area is bounded by Toa Payoh in the north, Geylang in the east, Marine Parade in the southeast, Marina East in the south, the Downtown Core in the southwest, Rochor and Newton in the west, as well as Novena in the northwest.
  Throughout its history, Kallang was home to several national landmarks, some of which were built along the banks of the Kallang Basin, including the old National Stadium as well as the country's first purpose-built civil airport, the Kallang Airport. The famous Kallang Roar and Kallang Wave could have their roots traced to the former National Stadium which hosted 18 National Day Parades, as well as numerous notable cultural and sporting events. As such, Kallang played pivotal roles in Singapore's aviation and sporting histories.
  Today, Kallang is probably best known for being the location of Jalan Besar Stadium and the Singapore Sports Hub, which is home to the new National Stadium and the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
context_section_description: Rail transport in Kallang exists as the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT). Kallang has the largest number of MRT stations outside of the Downtown Core, at 11, including the two stations currently under construction. At present, four MRT lines have stations in Kallang: East West Line, North East Line, Circle Line and Downtown Line.
  The following stations are currently in service:
   Kallang
   Lavender
   Little India
   Farrer Park
   Boon Keng
   Stadium
   Mountbatten
   Bendemeer
   Geylang Bahru
  Kallang will also be served by these upcoming stations on the Thomson–East Coast Line, slated for completion in 2023:
   Tanjong Rhu
   Katong Park
  A 16 kilometres-long "Kallang Line" was mentioned in the 1996 White Paper published by the Land Transport Authority (LTA). This MRT line was supposed to run along the banks of the Kallang River, connecting Ang Mo Kio MRT station in the north with Lavender MRT station in the south. The plan to build the Kallang Line was later shelved.
  On 20 April 2004, a section of the Circle Line tunnel collapsed during construction. This accident became known as the "Nicoll Highway collapse" and happened west of the Merdeka Bridge, near present-day Nicoll Highway MRT station.
