Sam Kee LRT station (PW1) is an LRT station on the Punggol LRT line West Loop in Singapore, along Sentul Crescent near Punggol Town Hub. The station's main entrance is directly opposite to the Punggol Waterway Park and the SAFRA Punggol clubhouse.[1]
The station has a unique design compared to the other stations as it is the only station along the Punggol LRT line that is not built on a road median.
The name was derived from a former village in the station's surrounding area, which is located at the former Sam Kee area.
