Grand old lady of Indonesia
Going strong:This June 1 photograph shows Turinah, an Indonesian woman, who is believed to be 157-year-old, at home in a South Sumatra village. Officials, who discovered her during the national census, believe her claim — that she was born in 1853. “There's no authentic data to prove her age, but judging from her statements and the age of her adopted daughter, who's now 108 years old, it's difficult to doubt it,” Statistics Bureau official Jhonny Sardjono said on Monday. She still works around the house and has smoked clove cigarettes all her life, he added.
