Location

The Merdeka MRT station, also known as Merdeka-Maybank MRT station under the station naming rights programme, is a mass rapid transit (MRT) underground station in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is one of the stations of the MRT Kajang Line (formerly known as MRT Sungai Buloh–Kajang Line) and serves as an interchange station with Plaza Rakyat LRT station for the LRT Ampang and Sri Petaling Lines. The station was opened on 17 July 2017 under Phase Two operations of the MRT line.

The station's name translates to "independence" in English and is taken from its location near the historic Stadium Merdeka (English: Independence Stadium), where the independence of the Federation of Malaya was declared on 31 August 1957, and the covered Stadium Negara (English: National Stadium). The station is located beneath Jalan Hang Jebat (formerly Jalan Davidson), adjacent to historical landmarks such as Stadium Negara, Stadium Merdeka, Merdeka Maybank Tower and the future 118 Mall.
