A few versions outlining Singapore's likely future MRT map are currently circulating on the Internet. They include what appears to be a new MRT line - the North Shore Line - and station names and locations for the Eastern Region Line.

The map looks remarkably like the real deal, and there are a few versions floating around on the Internet, with details filled in.
In the north, the speculative map pointed to a new MRT line. It is called the North Shore Line - starting from Sembawang, going past Punggol and ending at Changi Airport. Further down is the Eastern Region Line - previously announced but without details. Now it has station names, which authorities cannot confirm. The line starts from Chinatown and goes past Bendemeer to Kaki Bukit, after which it branches off - one going to Tampines and the other to Marine Parade.
While there has been no confirmation on the exact station details, Channel NewsAsia asked some of the residents in one of the areas mentioned, Marine Parade, what they thought and where they thought it would be located.
One resident said, "I heard that the MRT will be coming up somewhere in NTUC Marine Parade Central." Another added, "They just said an MRT near Tanjong Katong." A third noted, "It is going to go past Telok Kurau and come out at Marine Parade." Another interesting possibility these maps pointed to is a Shenton Way Station as part of the Circle Line, and a Marina View Station at the end of the North-South Line.
When asked about the authenticity of the maps, the Transport Ministry said they did not originate from the Land Transport Authority and should not be taken as an accurate indication of future MRT lines. - CNA/ms
