Initial Planning[]

The station is planned to be built near to the current KTM Klang Komuter Station at Klang South near to Jalan Tengku Kelana Klang Little India however since its located in the busy district, residents opposed the location mainly for historical importance since it required to demolish part of pre-war shop lots and some other businesses in the narrow roads.^[1] This made the station change to a new location in North Klang near to Jalan Pasar where the major business district in Klang is located.^[2] The new location is located next to Klang infamous Emporioum Makan and due to construction difficulties the building needs to be demolished in order for the station to be built.^[3] This has left Klang LRT and Klang KTM Komuter station not being an interchange station, rather just a connecting station which is about 700 metres walking distance using Jambatan Musaeddin.
