mpassengers=Abdullah Hukum is an elevated rapid transit station in
Kuala Lumpur ,Malaysia , forming part of theKelana Jaya Line (formerly known as PUTRA). The station was opened onSeptember 1 ,1998 , as part of the line's first segment encompassing 10 elevated stations between Kelana Jaya station and Pasar Seni station (not including the KL Sentral station opened later), and the line's maintenancedepot in Subang Valley ( _ms. Lembah Subang).Location
The station is named after and neighbours "
Kampung Haji Abdullah Hukum ", an urban village located between the station and theKlang River . In addition to serving the southeastern village, the station is also accessible from the southwestern tip of "Taman Bukit Pantai" from the station's northwest. A Malayan Railway (KTM) line leading to Port Klang station runs parallel alongside the station and connected Kelana Jaya Line tracks.Similar to the adjoining Bangsar station, [http://ms.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haji_Abdullah_Hukum Abdullah Hukum] station is erected along "
Jalan Bangsar " (Bangsar Road), further south, but is situated just over the Pantai Baharu exit of theNew Pantai Expressway .Connectivity to Mid Valley City
Despite its relatively close proximity to the
Mid Valley City mixed development just 250 metres east, no proper connection is provided between Abdullah Hukum station and Mid Valley City. The current routes requires patrons walk northwards to a footbridge crossing KTM tracks, from which they may head further east to cross Klang River via a road bridge. The station is currently the closest rapid transit station to Mid Valley City, but aKTM Komuter regional rail station is located far closer to the area.Various proposals were made to link the station to Mid Valley City, mainly via a direct pedestrian link between the station and the western tip of The Gardens, the closest and newest segment of Mid Valley City to the station. However, the proposals were commented to require proper consideration and planning before implementation, including suggestions to form a hub around the station (with a new Komuter station and a new monorail station) and rebuild the station entirely to support a larger number of patrons.cite web |url=http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2007/7/30/central/18440220&sec=central |title=Skybridge plan to mall lauded |accessdate=2007-08-24 |author= M., Bavani|date=2007-07-30 |publisher="The Star" (Metro/Central section) ] Plans to clear "Kampung Abdullah Hukum" for future development, rumoured to be a new wing of Mid Valley City,cite web |url=http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2007/7/31/central/18441259&sec=central |title=Goodbye to another urban kampung |accessdate=2007-08-24 |author=Christina Low |date=2007-07-31 |publisher="The Star" (Metro/Central section) ] meant the prospects of integrating the station into the development is also likely.

side platform s is used by trains travelling at either direction of the line, and is entirely sheltered by roofs.Connection to rapidKL buses
