...couple's marriage has lost its passion. Kerstin (Emily Hsu) has fallen for the itinerant Axel (Paul Vietzen), while Knut (Alexander Franklin) spends a considerable amount of time in the garden with the servant Adele (Maria Padilla). Knut's father, played by a singularly hilarious Andrew Sean Kuan, divides his time reciting obscure biblical proverbs, trying to woo Adele and attempting to foil the nascent love affair between Kerstin and Axel.

In the months since Lee stepped down, Goh Chok Tong, his handpicked successor, has been trying to emerge from Lee's shadow. In an attempt to establish his own mandate, last month he called a snap election two years before he was required...
