History

During construction, the station was provisionally named Leisure Mall, after the Leisure Mall shopping centre located just across Jalan Cheras from the station's site. A woman was attacked and robbed by a man wearing a black t-shirt and jeans in one of the lifts at the station and the 56 seconds video of the incident caught by CCTV at the station went viral in social media [3].
