Loads of people do it all the time. It's reasonably safe, just make sure you avoid the heavy rains, which can make the roads unstable and prone to landslides. Going down is more dangerous; avoid cutting the blind corners and you should be OK.

Distance from Tapah to Tanah Rata is slightly under 60km. If you start at daybreak (0630) you should arrive just after noon, depending, of course, on your fitness. The last 5km or so between Ringlet and Tanah Rata are the steepest.
