==History== The station is served by the LRT Ampang Line and LRT Sri Petaling Line. Opened in 1998 as part of the lines' Phase 2 of development under the former STAR LRT system, the station was intended to connect Sentul Timur to other parts of the city and surrounding areas. Under Phase 2, a 15 km track with 11 stations was built to serve the northern and southern areas of Kuala Lumpur to cater for the Commonwealth Village and [[KL Sports City|National Sports Complex]] in [[Bukit Jalil]], during the [[1998 Commonwealth Games]] held in Kuala Lumpur.

==Incidents== On 27 October 2006, a six-coach [[Adtranz]] LRT train which came in from Ampang overshot the end of the elevated tracks at the end of this station, resulting in the front half of the first coach dangling in the air about 25 m above the ground. A lone driver was the only one on board when the incident took place. Only Sentul Timur endured service disruption for 20 minutes that day.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2006/10/28/train-overshoots-lrt-terminal-and-is-left-dangling/ |title=Train overshoots LRT terminal and is left dangling |last1=Lourdes |first1=Marc |last2=Singh |first2=Dharmender |website=[[The Star (Malaysia)|The Star]] |publisher=Star Media Group |date=28 October 2006 |access-date=23 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170730121139/https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2006/10/28/train-overshoots-lrt-terminal-and-is-left-dangling/ |archive-date=30 July 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref>
