MIRI: Minister of Human Resources Datuk Seri Richard Riot Jaem broke his right hand when he fell inside the bathroom of a hotel he was staying in here yesterday morning.

The Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) deputy president, however, was not seriously hurt and was able to officiate at the ‘Minimum Wages Nationwide Clinic’ at another leading hotel here yesterday.

He was taken to a private hospital here after launching the clinic at about 10am.

“It was nothing serious, but I will undergo an operation tonight (last night) when I return to Kuala Lumpur,” he said when met by reporters at the hospital.

Riot was on a two-day working visit here since Monday.
