Talk:Kuala Lumpur railway station

Page name

Should this be renamed into Kuala Lumpur Railway station (decapitalise 's' in 'Station). All other railway stations have decapitalised s in station (i.e. Kepong Sentral Komuter station, Bukit Bintang Monorail station, etc) --Zack2007 06:38, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

No, I don't think so. This is the official name of the station, so we should retain the current name. Acs4b 15:21, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I raise this because some other stations such as Seremban Railway Station, Kajang Railway Station, and Rawang Railway Station has been changed from ...Komuter station because these three stations provide services for KTM Komuter and the intercity trains. Should these stations be named with a small S in station or follow the same way as Kuala Lumpur Railway Station? --Zack2007 00:52, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, i think so. All the railway stations you mentioned above (Seremban Railway Station, Kajang Railway Station, and Rawang Railway Station) should be renamed with a lowercase "s".

By the way, is the official name of the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station in Malay or in English? Thank you. Acs4b 09:46, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I think Kuala Lumpur Railway Station should be retained in English.

About the stations' names, what bout renaming them with Seremban station, Kajang station, and Rawang station? This is the practice of other stations that have multiple mode of transports, such as Bandar Tasik Selatan station, and Titiwangsa station. What do u think?--Zack2007 15:23, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I think it is a better idea to rename them without using the word "Railway" in the respective articles. However, I think it would be best if we state the mode of transport (train services) that stop here such as KTM, KTM Intercity, Kelana Jaya Line, Ampang Line and more. This is because, if there are tourists (and locals) who want to travel by rail or bus, they would be able to identify the line this station is in and the operators of it. Acs4b 05:36, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree that we need to inform what mode of transport. If you can see in the first line or so, it should clearly say what system it served. Furthermore, at the end of the article, there is a template-like link to show what the next and previous stations and what it served. I think thats sufficient. :) --Zack2007 10:21, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

The noun "Kuala Lumpur Railway Station" is a proper noun. It grammatically needs to be capitalized. I don't know about the others though. __earth ^(Talk) 11:46, 13 March 2007 (UTC) Bold text

Arabic ? No it's Malay written using Arabic Script, Jawi

In the title of the article it says "Arabic" and then it has the Jawi script which has the malay name. This is therefore incorrect because an Arabic reader may be able to read it but the Malay language would be unknown to them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.181.156.121 (talk) 07:20, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

Partial reversion

I've taken the liberty of going through edits made by User:Birdhurst and User:Earth, and undone or revised many of the changes as certain passages were rephrased to the point that they have lost their original meanings (i.e. attribution of a date to a station instead of a railway line) and are grammatically incorrect in British English standards (The Kuala Lumpur station is actually "located on" a road? How about the suggestion that the Puduraya bus station and the Maybank Tower exists alongside the Sultan Street Station, which was demolished before the two building's construction even broke ground?), not to mention a few changes that goes against WP:MOS (bold titles are typically not advised to be linked unless they include complicated naming). - Two hundred percent 09:12, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

"Located on" a road is a perfectly fine statement despite the oddness of it. It is one of those quirky English expressions. __earth ^(Talk) 17:35, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Stesen kereta api KL terbiar

Oleh SYAEZZ(BATU PAHAT)

KUALA LUMPUR 22 Ogos – Apa sudah jadi dengan bangunan Stesen Kereta Api Tanah Melayu (KTMB) di Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin - bangunan warisan kebangsaan yang kini tinggal terbiar?

Bangunan yang dibina pada 1885 berdasarkan seni bina ‘Moorish’ dan menjadi tumpuan orang ramai ekoran seni binanya yang unik itu, kini sepi berbanding enam tahun lalu.

Bangunan yang dianggap sebagai khazanah negara itu dikatakan semakin diabaikan sejak tahun 2001 apabila pusat operasi utama stesen kereta api dipindahkan ke Stesen Sentral Kuala Lumpur, yang lebih canggih dan moden.

Jika sebelum ini bangunan yang menempatkan restoran dan kedai-kedai menjual pelbagai barangan itu menjadi tumpuan orang ramai, ia kini sekadar menjadi tempat persinggahan pengguna perkhidmatan komuter.

Tinjauan Utusan Malaysia di stesen itu hari ini mendapati ia tidak dijaga dan diselenggara dengan baik.

Terdapat banyak cermin bangunan yang pecah, besi buruk diletakkan di tempat laluan orang ramai malah lebih menyedihkan terdapat juga najis manusia di kawasan pejalan kaki.

Orang ramai yang ditemui melahirkan rasa kesal dengan keadaan stesen itu dan mahu langkah segera diambil untuk memelihara serta menjaga bangunan tersebut seperti yang dilakukan ke atas Stadium Negara dan Stadium Merdeka.

Seorang pelajar Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas), Nurarima Suardi, 22, terkejut dengan keadaan dalam bangunan itu yang kelihatan seperti bangunan terbengkalai dan bukannya stesen kereta api lama yang penuh dengan nilai sejarah.

“Sudah lama saya tidak datang ke sini dan tidak menyangka sama sekali ia (stesen) menjadi seperti ini, sekali gus menyebabkan pelancong yang mengunjunginya mempunyai persepsi tidak baik terhadap aspek kebersihan di negara ini,” katanya di sini, hari ini.

Bangunan yang dibina semasa zaman British dan diubah suai mencontohi konsep stesen kereta api Victoria Station di Britain itu mula beroperasi sebagai stesen kereta api pada 1910.

Ketika itu, ia dikenali sebagai Stesen Residensi kerana terletak dalam kawasan Residen British.

Selepas era British, stesen itu kekal menjadi nadi kepada sistem pengangkutan negara terutama untuk membawa barang dagangan seperti getah sebelum digunakan sebagai pengangkutan awam yang menghubungkan destinasi tertentu dan menjadi pusat rangkaian kereta api utama.

Sementara itu, seorang kakitangan kerajaan, Nik Mohd. Fadli Nik Mat, 24, berkata, pihak yang berwajib perlu melakukan sesuatu agar bangunan itu kembali dikunjungi orang ramai sama ada untuk menggunakan perkhidmatannya atau melawat bangunan warisan tersebut.

“Pengurusan Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) boleh menyediakan sebuah ruang pameran mengenai sejarah kereta api di negara ini serta menganjurkan aktiviti untuk menarik perhatian orang ramai termasuk pelancong,’’ ujarnya.

Seorang kakitangan swasta yang sering menggunakan stesen itu, Rosli Ismail, 43, turut kesal kerana tiada perubahan dilakukan oleh pihak bertanggungjawab untuk mengubah keadaan di stesen yang semakin suram itu.

“Pengurusan KTMB diharap dapat membuat sesuatu bagi menarik kembali pengunjung seperti menyewakan kedai-kedai sedia ada dengan kadar sewa yang murah,” katanya.

Sementara itu, pelajar bidang Perhubungan Awam, Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), Wan Yuneeza Wan Mohd. Yusof, 28, berkata, stesen itu tidak lagi menjadi tumpuan pengunjung ekoran keadaannya yang kotor selain ketiadaan kedai- kedai kraf tangan dan cenderamata.

“Saya juga kesal kerana tidak ada pejabat pengurusan di dalam bangunan untuk memberi maklumat dan perkhidmatan yang mungkin diperlukan orang ramai, menunjukkan pihak pengurusan tidak begitu peka terhadap kepentingan pengguna stesen itu,” ujarnya. __________________ ONE MALAYSIA —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.50.222.242 (talk) 16:54, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Major errors in the text of this document.

The statement that the first station was called Residents station is incorrect. The First Station was called simply Kuala Lumpur and was built in 1886 for the Selangor Railway. The Residency station was built in 1891 in the residency grounds which were about a mile further north on the new line from Kuala Lumpur to Rawang which opened on 7th November 1892 from another new station on the site of the present Kuala Lumpur old station. At this time the original Selangor Railway station was reverted for use as a Goods station As stated above the actual location of Residency station was almost certainly at the point where Maxwell Road (which led to the Residency) crossed the railway line to Rawang. This spot is now occupied by Putra station. By 1925 it appears to have been renamed Maxwell Road station, located at milepost 240½, and another new station was located at the Padang at milepost 241¾. By 1929 a new deviation had been built between Kuala Lumpur and Maxwell Road taking the line a little further west and through a tunnel, thus bypassing Padang station which then closed. The evidence for this is a number of dated maps for the years 1922, 1925, 1929 and 1933 and FMSR documents. It is not clear when the actual name change took place but William George Maxwell moved into one of the the Residency buildings in 1920, details and dates can be found in the Journal of the Malaysian Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society on JSTOR. The 1892 Kuala Lumpur station was completely rebuilt in 1910 on the same site (, which also contains numerous photographs of all the buildings and has lots of other useful information.
