Only one issue was decisive: detention beyond 30 days at the Teluk Intan police lock-up lacked proven authorization under the Prisons Act 1995 and respondents failed to show ministerial authorization for that place of confinement; that non‑compliance rendered the detention unlawful and warranted issuance of a writ of habeas corpus and immediate release.
