Station Background
Colonial era
During British colonial era and until the 1980s, the site of the present-day Maluri station was a halt on the Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) network called Pudoh Ulu or Pudu Ulu.
LRT station
The older elevated station serves the LRT Ampang Line, which is built according to the standard design of the Ampang Line elevated stations.
It consists of two side platforms flanking the double elevated tracks, above a concourse level where the fare gates are located. Both platforms can be reached from the concourse level via stairways, escalators and elevators.

Why this record matters
The phrase “railway station in Miharja, Malaysia” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6744979. The first chronological checks are 1996 and 2017.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
