Encyclopedia
Jelapang is a town in Kinta
district, Perak
, Malaysia. It is a northern suburb of Ipoh

It is also the site of the infamous Jelapang toll plaza of the North-South Expressway. The toll plaza is "infamous" due to its reputation as an accident-prone area. This is because drivers coming from a high slope from the direction of Changkat Jering (exiting from the Menora Tunnel
towards Ipoh) have to suddenly slow down upon reaching the toll plaza and some speeding vehicles have crashed into the booths previously.
