Jelapang (GPS: 4.63746, 101.05939) is a small town in Kinta district, on the northeast part of Ipoh.
Jelapang is best known for its infamous assemblywoman, Hee Yit Foong, formerly of the Democratic Action Party (DAP), whose resignation from the party and subsequent alignment to the Barisan Nasional (BN) sparked the Perak constitutional crisis of 2009 that brought down Perak's Pakatan Rakyat government.
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
