Taman Suntex MRT Station (KG27) is an elevated stop on the MRT Kajang Line, located in the southeastern part of Cheras. Positioned along Jalan Kinabalu and Jalan Taman Suntex, the station serves a diverse community of long-standing residential neighborhoods, small business owners, and local commuters. While it may be less commercialized than other stations on the line, Taman Suntex plays a crucial role in linking suburban areas of Cheras to the heart of Kuala Lumpur. For many, it is a reliable and efficient alternative to sitting through daily traffic congestion on Jalan Cheras or the East–West Link Expressway.

One of the key features of the surrounding area is the Suntex Wet Market, a vibrant local market known for its fresh produce, meats, seafood, and household essentials. Open from early morning, the market is a vital resource for nearby residents, including elderly folks and homemakers who prefer traditional, in-person grocery shopping. The availability of affordable vegetables, fruits, and ready-made local food also draws in working adults and food vendors sourcing ingredients. With the MRT station nearby, shoppers can travel in and out of the area more easily, especially during the busy weekend morning hours when the market is most active.

Connected directly by covered walkway to the station is YOUCity Mall, a mid-sized shopping center designed to meet the everyday needs of local residents. It houses a supermarket, family-friendly restaurants, a variety of retail shops, and casual hangout spots like bubble tea cafés and bakeries. Located within the YOUCity integrated development, which includes residential towers and shop lots, the mall brings added convenience and urban amenities to a previously quiet corner of Cheras. The MRT connection has contributed to increased foot traffic and business growth in the area, transforming it into a livelier community hub.

The station’s presence has not only improved retail access but also supported the growth of small businesses in the Taman Suntex commercial district. Local hardware stores, car workshops, bakeries, kopitiams, and tuition centers are all within walking distance. Many business owners and workers rely on the MRT for commuting between home and shop, while customers from neighboring Cheras suburbs now find it easier to visit the area. This growth in connectivity has also made the area more attractive to young families and first-time homeowners looking for a more affordable alternative to central KL.

Taman Suntex is primarily a residential enclave, with rows of landed homes, small apartment buildings, and new mid-rise developments springing up in the vicinity. The station adds tremendous value to daily life, particularly for working adults who need to travel to downtown areas like Tun Razak Exchange, Bukit Bintang, or Muzium Negara. It also provides access to other parts of the MRT Kajang Line, making it convenient for students heading to universities or tuition centers along the route. With feeder buses and ride-hailing services operating nearby, last-mile connectivity is well supported.
