According to Johor Bahru Selatan district police chief ACP Mohd Padzli Mohd Zain, the alleged reason behind the incident was that the victim had purportedly insulted a cousin of one of the suspects

The suspects arrived at the scene to confront the victim, who was talking to his friend.

The suspect in the red T-shirt kept slapping him, saying who does he think he is to insult his cousin.

When the victim asks why does he keep hitting him, the suspect shoots back at him saying that he will beat him "however I want, who are you gonna bring to protect you".

He then goes on to threaten the boy, saying "If you talk like that to my brother again, I'll cut you up".

At which point, two other suspects join in and start slapping the boy.
