And then there’s Singaporean Othman Nasir, who’s going steady in the fasting game despite turning 100 years-old in two weeks.

Singapore’s The New Paper reported the centenarian-to-be’s birthday on June 20 would not be usual, given the fasting.

The former army man told the paper that he wants to observe Ramadan because he is still capable of fulfilling his obligations as a Muslim.

According to his youngest daughter Norlela Othman, 44, her father often fasts during Ramadan, and it was his discipline honed during his stint in the British Army that afforded him to do so.

The secret to his long live – he eats a lot of vegetables and fruits, and fish. He also spends time reading the Quran and has no major illnesses, other than gout.

He was able to walk with the help of a walker until a fall last year, which left him dependent on a wheelchair.
