Court held there was no procedural non-compliance warranting habeas corpus: the investigator's delay was reasonably explained and within 'convenient speed'; no statutory time limit bound the Deputy Minister; the Malay text is authoritative so 'forthwith' did not impose an immediate reporting requirement; Form II delay was rendered nugatory by COVID-related postponement; s5(3)(c) is discretionary, not mandatory; detention therefore lawful and application dismissed.
