The Centenary Citizen
26 December 2008
Out of the five oldies born before 1907, Ap Lethro, 109- year-old from Khamey, Jigmechholing, Sarpang, was declared the “Centenary Citizen.”
The Citizen’s Initiative for Coronation and Centenary Celebrations will present a cash prize of Nu 25,000 to Ap Lethro.
Although his official age is 109, people in his village believe that he is older.
Presently, he lives with the daughter of his niece at Khamey because he has no legitimate children or other relatives to take care of him.
Like many other senior destitute citizens, Ap Lhetro is also under the care of His Majesty as a kidu beneficiary.
