Location

Batu Kentonmen Komuter station is an at-grade Malaysian commuter railway train station located at the 4.5th miles of Jalan Ipoh, a major road and residential suburb of Kuala Lumpur. The station is named after the Batu Cantonment camp (Malay: Batu Kentomen), an army detention centre and army weapons depot located beside the station. The station is built as a feeder station for a number of residential neighbourhoods and is integrated with the adjacent military base, as sheltered walkways are built allowing military staff convenient use of the station. Slightly off-platform, a line from the main line branches of into the camp.

The station is designed to be disabled-friendly, with lifts to platforms and ramps to the ticketing office. Metal roofings fully cover the main platforms of the station.

Name

During British colonial rule, and until the 1980s, Batu Kentonmen station was known as Kent Station. ^[1]
