I wouldn't automatically assume that these cases from Suriname are true without documentation. 

@mendocino yes, moreover Ms. Boerenveen could be a limbo case, at this point.

Hinke Klaver-de Vries (born 19 January 1916) celebrated her 108th birthday:

The Morocco born woman from 1912 made it to 2024 (as did the woman from Iran (September 1914, lives in Haarlem) and Afghanistan (January 1916)). 

Unfortunately, one of the two men from Chinese descent that were 105 or older in the Netherlands, has died in December 2023.

This could either be the man from 1 Februari 1914, or the unknown one from August 1918.

Maybe tomorrow we'll hear about a 110 year old male. 🙂

@gjk_1966

The man from August 1918 was the man born in China who sadly passed away on December 2023.

@ale76 The Iran born woman from September 1914 lives in Haarlem, not in Rotterdam. It took a while for me to find that out.

Is it known who the new top ten is now, after Caecilia's death?

Elseliene "Es" Fa Si Oen has celebrated her claimed 109th birthday.

Mr. Jan van Ierland (109) was interviewed for the local newspaper. He's doing fine!

https://www.haarlemsdagblad.nl/cnt/dmf20240308_44458943

I haven't got access to the whole text, but the introduction says that he still likes to take a stroll, occasionally plays the piano and likes chatting to his girlfriend.

PS: unfortunately, the 111th birthday (last week) of Mrs. Marina Femke van der Es-Siewers has not been confirmed yet.

This ‘source’ says she ‘died’ at the age of 110 years and 291 days: https://defeestkamer.nl/hoe-lang-leef-ik-nog.php

However, I’m quite sure that this is an unreliable source…
