Maharajalela station is a Malaysian elevated monorail train station that forms a part of the Kuala Lumpur Monorail (KL Monorail) line located in Kuala Lumpur and opened for train service on 31 August 2003.[1]
The station is named after and was constructed over the southeast-bound lane of Jalan Maharajalela (English: Maharajalela Road), just southwest from Stadium Merdeka, Merdeka 118 Tower and several hundred metres south from old Kuala Lumpur, including Petaling Street (several stations along the Kelana Jaya Line, Ampang Line and Sri Petaling Line, however, are significantly closer to or are within the area). The station is located along a stretch of monorail tracks laid along Jalan Maharajalela, between the track's turnoff into Jalan Imbi, and another turnoff into Jalan Sultan Sulaiman. This station was formerly called Merdeka station.[2] (Not to be confused with Merdeka MRT station on the Kajang Line on the opposite end of the Merdeka 118 complex)
