AMPANG: A neighbour at a condominium where an eight-year-old boy and his six-year-old sister were allegedly physically abused claimed that the children were not allowed to play with other children staying at the building.

A resident who just wanted to be identified as Lee said he never saw the boy except on the day when he attempted to escape through a window located on the fourth floor.
