The Mutiara Damansara MRT station is a mass rapid transit (MRT) station serving the suburb of Mutiara Damansara in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia.
It is one of the stations of the MRT Kajang Line. The station was opened on 16 December 2016 when the first phase of the line was opened.[2]
The station is located adjacent to the Mutiara Damansara commercial area, where The Curve Shopping Centre, Royale Chulan Hotel, IKEA Damansara, Lotus's Mutiara Damansara and other buildings are located.[3]
