Play
Labour Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung collapsed in his office at the Labour Ministry yesterday afternoon and was rushed to hospital.
He was talking to Pol General Pongsapat Pongcharoen, the secretary-general of the Office of Narcotics Control Board, about organising a meeting for drug suppression when he collapsed. He was rushed to Ramathibodi Hospital at 1.45pm. Chalerm had just returned to work for a week after undergoing an operation for bleeding on the brain.
Dr Surasak Leelaudomlipi, director of Ramathibodi Hospital, said that though Chalerm’s fists were clenched, he could talk to the doctors and interact with them normally.
Chalerm will be kept in hospital for observation.
