The '''Kentonmen MRT station''' is a [[mass rapid transit]] (MRT) station serving the suburbs of Taman Bamboo, Taman Eastern, Taman Kok Lian, Taman Impian and Taman Rainbow in [[Batu, Kuala Lumpur]], [[Malaysia]].

It is one of the stations being built as part of the [[Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit]] (KVMRT) project on the [[MRT Putrajaya Line]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.mymrt.com.my/en/ssp/project-info/route-map|title=MYMRT {{!}} MRT Corp - Official webpage for the Klang Valley My Rapid Transit.|website=www.mymrt.com.my|language=en|access-date=2017-05-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170627024608/http://mymrt.com.my/en/ssp/project-info/route-map|archive-date=27 June 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> The station is located on [[Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah]] as well as being named after the Batu Cantonment Army Camp, or ''Kem Batu Kentonmen'' in [[Malay language|Malay]].

==Station details== ===Station design=== The station's design is unique among other stations on the Putrajaya Line as it consists one of an elevated platform level with 2 separate ticketing concourses and faregates for each of its side platforms. Each concourse is connected to either one of the station's entrances. The station was built as such due to the lack of space in the area to build a station with [[island platforms]]. The platforms, however, are linked via a walkway and bridge crossing over the railway tracks and are connected to the platforms via lifts, escalators and stairways.

===Location=== The station is strategically located near landmarks such as Bamboo Hills and the Cantonment Exchange Complex.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://journey.smrt.com.sg/journey/station_info/yio-chu-kang/exits/ |title=SMRT Journeys |website=journey.smrt.com.sg |publisher=SMRT Corporation |access-date=16 December 2020 }}</ref>
