The Semantan MRT Station is a mass rapid transit (MRT) station serving the suburb of Damansara Heights, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is one of the stations on the MRT Kajang Line and was opened on 16 December 2016 when Phase One of the line became operational.^[1]

The station is located near the Semantan Interchange (Jalan Dungun intersection) of the Sprint Expressway (Damansara Link) near Wisma UN, the United Nations (UN) representative office in Malaysia and the office area of Jalan Dungun.

History

During Phase One operation of the Kajang Line (then known as the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line), this station was the southern terminus of the line where all passengers had to disembark. Trains would leave the station and make a turnback at the crossover track above Jalan Sultan Abdul Halim before heading back towards Sungai Buloh. With the opening of Phase Two on 17 July 2017, the southern terminus of the station became Kajang station.

The station was previously known as Manulife-Semantan from 21 August 2017 when Manulife have granted a 5-year contract for the naming rights of the station under the station naming rights programme, which is located within 5 minutes walk from Menara Manulife, the Manulife Malaysia's headquarters.^[2]^[3] Nonetheless, the station naming rights contract was ended from 1 December 2023.
