Select Committee or Selective Committee?

The state government has decided to form a select committee to investigate the native certificate of Sri Tanjung assemblyman, Jimmy Wong. Wong has a native certificate which qualifies him as a native. The issuance of native certificates were abolished during Berjaya rule in 1982.
However it is strange why the government is hell bent on forming a committe to investigate Wong's certificate. There have been countless reports of illegal immigrants holding Malaysian citizenship in Sabah, yet nothing has been done.
This is making a mockery of the people. By forming the committee they are making the people look stupid. By doing this, it is the government which is looking stupid.
The state government has never made efforts to rid Sabah of illegals nor completely eradicate foreign squatters. Yet here we have a select committee formed to look into an assemblyman's native certificate.
This is certainly a selective committee!

We are still in the denial stage as far as native and non native is concerned.

Define 'native' and you will find it is no longer defendable and unsustainable as true meaning of the word is 'birth' when many groups are here for generations.

If we operated by a defunct ordinance like the native one, all natives would include people not even born in Sabah. So we become a land of new arrivals of PTI.

So the native ordinance should be obsolete by the passage of time as who are really the natives?

We can go on in this stupidity and everyone would suffer in the homeland of the people born here.
