Jeli is a town and territory (jajahan) in
Kelantan, Malaysia. Jeli is administered by the Jeli District Council.
Jeli is bordered by the state of Perak to the
west, Thailand to the
north, Tanah Merah district to the north
east and Kuala Krai district to the south
east.
The history of Jeli began when
the government encouraged the people around
Kelantan to start a great area of agriculture. This process began with
a period of land clearing..
Most people in Jeli work as rubber tappers. The rubber plantations which
belong to the local people also attract people from outside to come and
work. While the first generations of Jeli residents mostly involved in
rubber tapping and other agriculture activities for a living, the current
generations have managed to find their way up to a much better profession
due to the better and proper education system and dedicated teachers
available to this remote area.
The main attraction of this
town is the Stong Waterfalls. Towering at a height of 305 meter, this
scenic waterfall is the tallest waterfall in the South East Asia region.
