According to the father, his son was expelled from school prior to the incident.
"Regarding this issue, I have also tried to educate and explain to him, and I hope everyone can give him another chance! A child's mistake is their parents' responsibility, he only stepped on the wrong path! Please give him another chance!
"As his father, I want to apologise to everyone, and I hope he can be given a chance to change," read the man's Facebook post, as reported by Sin Chew Daily.
