Earlier, KOSMO! reported that the Year 1 boy was hospitalised after one of the bullies allegedly stomped on his stomach, chest, and legs
Another pupil reportedly acted as a lookout, while a third attempted to scribble on the boy's shirt during the attack.
The victim's mother reportedly shared photos of her son's soiled school uniform on social media, believed to have been dirtied during the assault, to draw attention to the case.
The victim's father, Ghadaffi Zainudin, told KOSMO! that his son's nose bled after the incident, and that the same bullies had thrown hot soup on his son's hand the day before.
"Previously, his school money was often taken, and he was frequently harassed by the same students," he said.
The parents said they have reported the matter to the school, which is now working to identify those involved.
