In Singapore 1900, young doctor Albert Lim loves the singing girl Ying. His Uncle asks him to take a political position, to oppose the Colonialist Government. Albert refuses because he wants to marry Ying and have a normal life. But the love affair ends tragically. Albert, heartbroken, vows to become the voice of the people. He takes a seat on the Council: it is a first step towards democracy for Singapore.
