SIMPANG Pulai, a quiet town a decade ago, is a bustling commercial area today with developments in and around the township on the southern border of Ipoh, Perak.

The former tin-mining town, sandwiched between Ipoh and Gopeng, is also where visitors from the northern parts of the country exit the North-South Expressway to head to Cameron Highlands via the Pos Slim route.
