Saif, 39, adalah anak kedua Presiden Libya, Muammar Gaddafi. Babak-babak ini berlaku hanya beberapa bulan sebelum di Kuala Lumpur, demonstrasi bersejarah 9 Julai lalu terjadi—Bersih 2.0.

Saif yang boleh bertutur Inggeris dengan telo Arab ditugas berhadapan dengan wartawan dan media antarabangsa; menjawab dan menjelaskan kepada dunia apa yang 'sebenarnya' terjadi. Seperti yang terduga, omongan penguasa totalitarian di mana-mana pun sama.

Saif menuduh pendemonstran yang menentang bapanya adalah dari rangkaian pengganas al-Qaeda. Mereka juga kata Saif, "pengkhianat" yang bermunculan daripada pendalaman—sedangkan di Tripoli, ibu negeri, sentiasa aman.

Tuduhan "pengkhianat" mahupun "al-Qaeda" tak ubah seperti tuduhan pentadbiran Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Najib Razak kepada mereka yang turun ke jalan raya kelmarin dalam demontrasi Bersih 2.0. Di sini, pemimpin dan aktivis yang ditangkap di bawah Ordinan Darurat (EO) tak boleh bertemu meski dengan anak-isteri.

Revolusi di beberapa negara Arab awal tahun ini antara lain menyelongkar perasaan yang terbuku di hati rakyatnya. Bukan sahaja soal korupsi, pembolotan kekayaan negara oleh segolongan elit, tetapi gaya politik legasi-nipotisme juga mulai ditolak. Mesejnya ialah, sama ada di Tunisia, di Mesir dan Libya, dalam lubuk sanubari manusia mereka menolak pemimpin politik yang mahu mewariskan pemerintahan kepada darah keturunan sendiri.

Sedar tak sedar, antara latar kebencian dan penentangan menjurus kepada Husni Mubarak adalah persoalan ini. Dia ditumbangkan kalamana Mubarak khabarnya dalam proses peralihan kuasa kepada pewaris yang dia sudah siapkan dari rahim isterinya, Suzanne. Menjadi rahsia umum di Mesir bahawa anak sulung Mubarak, Gamal, akan menggantikan si bapa sebagai Presiden.

Faham ala-maharaja dan rendah tamadun sebegini nampak berlaku di mana-mana. Mungkin sahaja, keresahan Sasterawan Negara, Pak Samad ada asasnya. Orang Malaysia, terutama sebelum krisis politik-ekonomi 1997-98, juga berfikiran feudal dan lapuk sebegitu. Rakyat kebanyakan (yang sekaligus memegang kuasa undi terbesar), dengan mudah-mudah melepaskan kuasa politik-pemerintahan kepada kelompok kelas atas, atau apa yang disebut Pak Samad sebagai "golongan bangsawan".

Cacatnya golongan ini mudah, iaitu mereka (yang dibesar dalam lingkungan elit) takkan dapat merasakan denyut-nadi rakyat sampai ke bawah-bawah. Jauh lagi untuk fahami. Bukan juga rahsia apabila golongan bangsawan itu tak mahu anak-anak mereka bersekolah di sekolah mahupun universiti kebangsaan. Sementara sistem pendidikan yang mereka cipta dan mahu rakyat mendukung, mereka sendiri tak memakainya.

Pak Samad menamakan dari PM pertama, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra yang lahir di anjung istana, sehingga kepada PM hari ini, Najib yang orang tuanya juga perdana menteri. Menurut Pak Samad, yang terlepas daripada lingkungan keluarga bangsawan [barangkali] cuma Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Abdullah Badawi yang sempat berkuasa sekelip mata, yang lahir daripada tatanan agamawan juga ditanda sebagai cebis-cebisan golongan bangsawan.

Rakyat selalu diwar-warkan, dipaku di dalam fikiran dan hati bahawa anak kepada seorang perdana menteri, misalnya, sediakala arif soal politik dan pentadbiran. Dia boleh meneruskan apa yang baik, yang pernah dilakukan oleh bapanya. Semua keyakinan ini tertanam sejak awal-awal lagi, dan, tak pernah dipersoal entah iya entahkan tidak. Padang permainan tak pernah sama rata…

SELANJUTNYA DI SINI.

Mohd. Najib's time is running out.

Najib Tun Abdul Razak is going in for a big shock, it may even be the cause of Mahathir Mohammed suffering a severe heart attack, I would not want to speculate more on that score, and to avoid that he -Najib, has to be extra careful in the selection of who stands where, in the next General Elections, not in the component parties but particularly in UMNO as deals have been struck to dump him come the next elections.

This should not come as a shock to many Malaysians, as he was not really the rightful heir to the position of Prime Minister, when Badawi was moved aside. For the "RAHMAN" equation to have been settled it had to be someone whose name began with the alphabet "N" but what the entire country forgot is that his name began with a "M" his name is Mohd. Najib.

UMNO insiders close to Najib say Mahahtir was aware of this and as such worried that Badawi who had removed Rafidah Aziz woudl do the same to Najib and Muhyuddin and replace them with Nazri to remain Prime Minsiter for the long term.

Now as some superstitious UMNO people are talking because of what has happened the next cycle has begun prematurely, and the next equation is "MAHATHIR" he has occupied the M prematurely and as such the next PM's name will begin with an "A" and that should mean Anwar Ibrahim they believe..

Some UMNO circles believe that Anwar is the ordained one to become Prime Minister, they say if he does not this nation is doomed, this belief is not only with those who have left UMNO but many who remain there, and they hold firm to the fact that Anwar will be back because that is his destiny, they even go as far as saying that is why the entire "RAHMAN" equation fell apart, it is a curse they say and that is a sign to the Malays.

So will Anwar become our next Prime Minister?

Within UMNO there is talk about who should be dumped come the next elections, and overtures have been made by existing members from UMNO to cross over. Najib has actually got a Hobson's choice to deal with, he may have to take all the people aligned with Muhyuddin or face the wrath of Muhyuddin's supporters, if he does that then he has to reckon with his own supporters who do not support Muhyuddin and of course he has the Kuli factor to deal with, poor Najib.

Going it alone he does not have too much choice, he lacks the ground support Muhyuddin has raked in during Najib's tenure as PM.

Today I am taking a challenge to write against the tide.

In physics, a force is any influence that causes a free body to undergo a change in speed, a change in direction, or a change in shape. Force can also be described by intuitive concepts such as a push or pull that can cause an object with mass to change its velocity (which includes to begin moving from a state of rest), i.e., to accelerate, or which can cause a flexible object to deform. Wikipedia

If I am not wrong, the third force was not heard before except the term 'fence sitter' which described those indecisive voters pre-308. Even post 308 for over a year and a half there is no one bringing up the third force subject. What the general public saw was an opportunity for a two party system and that is when Pakatan Rakyat was created or formed.

The talk of the third force begins to appear in some blogs initiated from a movement group, sometime in late 2009 or early 2010 without mentioning that the rakyat was going to be the third force. Why suddenly the call for the third force when everything was pointing towards a two party system.

This movement group had played a large roll through their blogs, social and new media and even gave ceramahs in person to help the opposition triumph in the 12th GE. If I am not wrong, they to, see a possibility of a two party system after the 308 tsunami. What makes them came out with the idea of having a third force.

Many were scratching their heads and questioning what is the third force. Reading the comments on those blogs that wrote about the third force will give you an idea that a majority do not agree. It does not matter to the movement that started this third force and they kept explaining to the people from England to downtown KL. Sometime between then and now this third force movement begins to claim that the rakyat is the third force.

This is getting interesting, the question in my mind is why should the rakyat be the third force? Are we talking about politics here, I guess we are.

Now, if rakyat is the third force, who then are the first and second forces? Umno/BN the first force and Pakatan the second force but both without rakyat, since rakyat is the third force, how can that be?

Let us take a look at how the third force came into the picture. Many are saying that the 308 tsunami is not the love for the opposition but rather the hatred for Umno/BN. Question is are the voters that voted for the opposition out of hatred going back to Umno/BN in the coming 13th GE? Did Umno/BN transformed themselves after 308 that the voters are flocking back to them as some ministers and media are proclaiming?

The reasons for having the third force were that Pakatan did not keep their election promises, they are no different from Umno/BN, many elected representatives, especially PKR, did the frog dance and jump over to Umno/BN and that PR is not listening to the 'rakyat' or is it 'them'!. So, it is better to go for the devil we know rather than the devil we do not know?

Are these reasons, in a true sense valid to call for a third force when originally this third force from the movement were fighting against Umno/BN? The original thoughts of many were to bring about a change, what happen to that, just because Pakatan is as bad?

This movement third force are planning their own team of candidates (supposedly to be of the best integrity) and offer to political parties that are willing to accept their manifesto, something of that sort, especially to Pakatan. If their candidates are not accepted they are willing to go alone even if there are three corner fights.

To me the third force is not the rakyat but another political entity. They wanted to assist in bringing a better Malaysia for the rakyat and we welcome them with open arms. But when they claimed that others are bad and do not keep their election promises and elected representatives like to do the frog dance, what do we see here?
