The Semantan MRT Station or Manulife-Semantan for sponsorship reasons, 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 Sungai Buloh-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 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 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.

From 21 August 2017, Manulife has been 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]
