Location

The northernmost elevated station on the MRT, ASEAN station is located on Jl. Sisingamangaraja XII in Selong, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta. Nearby the station are Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) secretariat, Indonesian National Police headquarters, Al-Azhar Great Mosque and Al-Azhar Indonesia University campus as well as government buildings such as campuses of Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning (National Land Agency) and Ministry of Public Works and People's Housing.

History

The station was originally named Sisingamangaraja Station (hence the station code), from the street is the station located. The name then changed to ASEAN Station due to its close location to the ASEAN Secretariat. Its name change is originally a part of MRT station naming rights, but Jakarta MRT gave the naming rights of the station to ASEAN free of charge.[2]

ASEAN station was officially opened, along with the rest of Phase 1 of the Jakarta MRT on 24 March 2019 (2019-03-24).[3]
