'''Putra Heights''' is the LRT terminal station for [[Sri Petaling Line]] and [[Kelana Jaya Line]] offering cross-platform transfer between both dedicated lines. The station is the second station after [[Masjid Jamek LRT station|Masjid Jamek station]] that integrates both the LRT lines. The station is located in [[Putra Heights]], [[Selangor]] ([[Malaysia]]), along the [[North–South Expressway Central Link]] (ELITE). The station is part of the LRT Extension Project (LEP) which extended the southern terminus of the Sri Petaling Line and Kelana Jaya Line from [[Sri Petaling LRT station|Sri Petaling station]] and [[Kelana Jaya LRT station|Kelana Jaya station]] respectively to Putra Heights. Because of different rail system developed on both lines, they do not share the same track and use their own individual track instead. The station is located near to Laman Putra, Putra Indah and Putra Point Commercial Centre.

The extension of both Sri Petaling Line and Kelana Jaya Line were announced on 29 August 2006 by then [[Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia|Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister]] [[Najib Razak|Mohd Najib Abdul Razak]].<ref>{{cite report |author=Muhammad Farhan bin Mohd Arif |date=July 2017 |title=A Study on Ridership Capacity Analysis at Rapid Kelana Jaya Line Station |url=http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/id/eprint/9877/1/Muhammad_Farhan_Mohd_Arif.pdf |publisher=Faculty of Engineering Technology, Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia |page=23,24 |access-date=26 June 2020}}</ref> This is also confirmed by then [[Prime Minister of Malaysia]] [[Abdullah Ahmad Badawi|Tun Abdullah Badawi]] in his [[Malaysian federal budget|National Budget]] speech in 2006.<ref>{{cite speech |last=Haji Ahmad Badawi |first=Abdullah |author-link=Abdullah Ahmad Badawi |title=Ucapan Bajet Tahun 2006 |url=https://www.bnm.gov.my/files/budget2006.bm.pdf |access-date=26 June 2020 |language=Malay}}</ref>

Construction started since 2010.<ref>{{Cite web|title=LRT Line Extension Project|url=https://www.railway-technology.com/projects/lrt-line-extension-project/|access-date=2020-06-26|website=Railway Technology|language=en-GB}}</ref> However, during the construction of the [[Train depot|depot]] of Putra Heights station, the concrete formwork and scaffolding with a height of 6 meter collapsed, killing two construction workers. 4 other workers suffers minor injury in the accident.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Two workers trapped under wet concrete at Putra Heights LRT site|url=https://www.thesundaily.my/archive/1276452-KRARCH287407|access-date=2020-06-26|website=www.thesundaily.my|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2014-12-25|title=Mangsa kedua runtuhan binaan depoh LRT Putra Heights ditemui|url=https://www.bharian.com.my/berita/nasional/2014/12/25173/mangsa-kedua-runtuhan-binaan-depoh-lrt-putra-heights-ditemui|access-date=2020-06-26|website=BH Online|language=ms}}</ref>

The construction of the station had also received complaints and objections by both Subang Alam and [[Putra Heights]] residents.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Residents say no to extension {{!}} The Star|url=https://www.thestar.com.my/news/community/2009/12/15/residents-say-no-to-extension|access-date=2020-06-26|website=www.thestar.com.my}}</ref> A study by [[National University of Malaysia|UKM]] professor Dr Tajul Anuar Jamaluddin, whose opinion was sought by the residents, found the area to be unsuitable as the ground was largely made up of clay and cracked granite, which would be precarious and make it expensive to lay rail tracks. The line will also pass by an artificial lake and an electric transmission line, posing danger to nearby houses.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2013-09-30|title=Delay in Kelana Jaya-Ampang LRT line extension|url=http://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/delay-kelana-jaya-ampang-lrt-line-extension|access-date=2020-06-26|website=The Edge Markets}}</ref>

The station was opened by [[Najib Razak|Dato Sri' Mohd Najib Abdul Razak]] himself, who was then the [[Prime Minister of Malaysia]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=2016-07-01|title=Stesen LRT baharu beri manfaat penduduk Lembah Klang|url=https://www.bharian.com.my/berita/nasional/2016/07/170330/stesen-lrt-baharu-beri-manfaat-penduduk-lembah-klang|access-date=2020-06-26|website=BH Online|language=ms}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2016-06-30|title=25 new LRT stations start operating today|url=https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2016/06/30/25-new-lrt-stations-start-operating-today/|access-date=2020-06-26|website=Free Malaysia Today|language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Mahmud|first=Hairulazim|date=2016-06-30|title=LRT dari Putra Heights mula operasi|url=https://www.hmetro.com.my/node/149177|access-date=2020-06-26|website=HM Online|language=ms}}</ref> Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai, Land Public Transport Commission Chairman Syed Hamid Albar and Chief Secretary to the Government Ali Hamsa were also present at opening.

In 2019, the then Minister of Transportation opened an airport shuttle route from the station to [[KLIA]] and [[Klia2]].<ref>{{Cite web|last1=Leong|first1=Isabelle|title=Hanya RM10 ke KLIA, klia2 dari Putra Heights|url=http://www.astroawani.com/berita-malaysia/hanya-rm10-ke-klia-klia2-dari-putra-heights-200492|access-date=2020-06-26|website=www.astroawani.com|language=ms}}</ref> But later on November 18, 2020, RapidKL on its Facebook page issued a notice that route number E1 (airport shuttle) has been discontinued effective 1 December 2020.

In November 2019, a woman who was waiting on the platform of the station, almost got hypnotized by an old man. The woman was able to escape with the help of two [[Malays (ethnic group)|Malay]] men. She then shared her experience on [[Facebook]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Lajis|first=Syairah Abdul|date=2019-11-06|title=Wanita kongsi pengalaman nyaris dipukau di stesen LRT|url=https://www.sinarharian.com.my/article/55948/BERITA/Viral/Wanita-kongsi-pengalaman-nyaris-dipukau-di-stesen-LRT|access-date=2020-06-26|website=Sinarharian|language=ms}}</ref>

==Station==

=== Station Design ===
The station is designed by NRY Architects, which is also responsible for the [[Awan Besar LRT station|Awan Besar]] and [[Bandar Puteri LRT station|Bandar Puteri Puchong LRT station]].

The station is inspired by the traditional fish trap called ''Bubu''. Instead of trapping, the station has been designed as a celebration of movement to showcase its function as an interchange station.

The station skeletal structure is covered with photovoltaic cladding to generate solar energy. Glass louvers are added for a naturally-lit interior and shade during rainy seasons. Voids are realised on certain locations of both facades to allow sufficient cross ventilation and constant airflow within the station. As some heat trapped inside the building, a customised jacked roof concept is implemented across the central spine of the envelope to channel it out.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=Putra Heights LRT Station|url=http://nry.com.my/portfolio/lrt-ampang-line-extension-station/|access-date=2020-06-26|website=NRY Architects|language=en-US}}</ref>

=== Station Layout ===
The station has an [[island platform]] (1A and 1B) and two [[side platform]]s (2 and 3). Most of the time trains will stop at platforms 1A and 1B and turn back, unless the train terminates at this station. The station is also equipped with parking bays, bus terminal on the station ground level and main drop-off and pick-up areas at concourse level.<ref name=":0" />

Putra Heights is a Klang Valley Rapid Transit station in Putra Heights in the southern Subang Jaya. The station are the southern terminus for the Sri Petaling Line and Kelana Jaya Line. The station is located on the intersection of Persiaran Putra Indah and Persiaran Putra Perdana, next to E6 ELITE. Nearby places include Kampung Kuala Sungai Baru, Laman Putra, Putra Indah and Putra Point Commercial Centre.

The station is part of the Prasarana's rail extension for both Kelana Jaya line and Sri Petaling line which joined both lines at this station, after the Masjid Jamek station. The station is opened in June 2016, along with 25 other stations in the extension plan.[2]

The station is one of the largest in Klang Valley. It has four tracks with 2 side platforms and 1 island platform. Because of different rail system developed on both lines, they do not share the same track and use their own individual track instead. The station is the main infrastructure in Putra Heights.

History

[edit]

The extension of both Sri Petaling Line and Kelana Jaya Line were announced on 29 August 2006 by then Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Mohd Najib Abdul Razak.[3] This is also confirmed by then Prime Minister of Malaysia Tun Abdullah Badawi in his National Budget speech in 2006.[4]

Construction started since 2010.[5] However, during the construction of the depot of Putra Heights station, the concrete formwork and scaffolding with a height of 6 meter collapsed, killing two construction workers. 4 other workers suffers minor injury in the accident.[6][7]

The construction of the station had also received complaints and objections by both Subang Alam and Putra Heights residents.[8] A study by UKM professor Dr Tajul Anuar Jamaluddin, whose opinion was sought by the residents, found the area to be unsuitable as the ground was largely made up of clay and cracked granite, which would be precarious and make it expensive to lay rail tracks. The line will also pass by an artificial lake and an electric transmission line, posing danger to nearby houses.[9]

The station was opened by Dato Sri' Mohd Najib Abdul Razak himself, who was then the Prime Minister of Malaysia.[10][11][12] Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai, Land Public Transport Commission Chairman Syed Hamid Albar and Chief Secretary to the Government Ali Hamsa were also present at opening.

In 2019, the then Minister of Transportation opened an airport shuttle route from the station to KLIA and Klia2.[13] But later on November 18, 2020, RapidKL on its Facebook page issued a notice that route number E1 (airport shuttle) has been discontinued effective 1 December 2020. Passengers are advised to take an alternative bus operator, Jetbus.[14]

Incidents and accidents

[edit]

A taekwondo athlete was sued for assaulting a disabled senior citizen in the station. The athlete, Nur Dhia Liyana Shaharuddin, who won a silver medal in the 2017 SEA Games,[15] was asked to issue a public apology to a 71-year-old partially blind and deaf man for kicking him in the station.[16]

In November 2019, a woman who was waiting on the platform of the station, almost got hypnotized by an old man. The woman was able to escape with the help of two Malay men. She then shared her experience on Facebook.[17]

Station

[edit]

Station Design

[edit]

The station is designed by NRY Architects, which is also responsible for the Awan Besar and Bandar Puteri Puchong LRT station.

The station is inspired by the traditional fish trap called Bubu. Instead of trapping, the station has been designed as a celebration of movement to showcase its function as an interchange station.

The station skeletal structure is covered with photovoltaic cladding to generate solar energy. Glass louvers are added for a naturally-lit interior and shade during rainy seasons. Voids are realised on certain locations of both facades to allow sufficient cross ventilation and constant airflow within the station. As some heat trapped inside the building, a customised jacked roof concept is implemented across the central spine of the envelope to channel it out.[18]

Station Layout

[edit]

The station has an island platform (1A and 1B) and two side platforms (2 and 3). Most of the time trains will stop at platforms 1A and 1B and turn back, unless the train terminates at this station. The station is also equipped with parking bays, bus terminal on the station ground level and main drop-off and pick-up areas at concourse level.[18]
