The Semantan MRT Station is a mass rapid transit (MRT) station that serves 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]

History

During Phase One operation of 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 made a turn back at the cross-over 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 renamed to Manulife-Semantan from 21 August 2017 when Manulife have granted a 5-year contract for the naming rights of the station, 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.
