Featuring a colour scheme of green, yellow, and white, the station has two exits and serves the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, the Rail Corridor, and the Former Ford Factory, the latter of which is depicted in the Art-in-Transit artwork Continuity. The station was initially built only with structural provisions due to a lack of projected ridership, with works completed in 2014. Following petitions by nearby residents to improve connectivity around the area, the government announced the start of construction of the remaining facilities in March 2019. Fitting-out works began in February 2021, and the station opened on 28 February 2025, ahead of the original deadline of the second quarter of the same year. Hume was the first underground infill station on the Singapore MRT network. (Full article...)

Newton (1942–1989) was an African-American revolutionary and political activist who co-founded the Black Panther Party in 1966. He ran the party as its first leader and crafted its ten-point manifesto with Bobby Seale. Under Newton's leadership, the party organized numerous social programs and community events, but also advocated for collective defense and threatened political violence. This poster was made for the Black Panther Party in Emeryville, California, in 1968, and features a large portrait photograph, taken by Blair Stapp, depicting Newton seated in a peacock chair and wearing a beret and a black leather jacket. He holds a shotgun in his right hand and a spear in his left hand. Two leaf-shaped Zulu-style shields lean against the wall behind him. Underneath the photograph is a quotation from Newton as "Minister of Defence": "The racist dog policemen must withdraw immediately from our communities, cease their wanton murder and brutality and torture of black people, or face the wrath of the armed people."
