History

Station platform

The extension of Sri Petaling Line was announced on 29 August 2006 by then Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Mohd Najib Abdul Razak.[6] Then Prime Minister of Malaysia Tun Abdullah Badawi also confirm that the government was considering and researching the possibilities of the extension in his National Budget speech in 2006.[7] The station was originally planned to be built near the Puchong Fire and Rescue Station on the east side of LDP, however the current side was approved by the municipal in 2009.

The extension project, worth RM955.84 million,[8] was awarded to a joint venture (JV) consortium of George Kent (M) Bhd and its partner Lion Pacific Sdn Bhd.[9] Construction started in 2010.[10] However, construction was halted when SJK (T) Castlefield, a tamil school which is in the way of the project, refused to be reallocate to the proposed site.[11] The proposed site had caused disputes when another school, SJK (C) Kheng Cheng, was also planned to be built on the same site.[12][13] After some negotiation and interference of the local MPs, the school remains at its original site with the elevated railway using just 0.7 acres of school ground.[14]

Fault free test runs of the trains started on 22 January 2016.[15] Although it faced some delays,[16] the station was opened on 31 March 2016, as a part of the second phase of the extension.[17]
