It is avowed mission in life of Frederick Altamont Cornwallis, fifth Earl of Ickenham, to spread sweetness and light come what may.

From boyhood his has been a gay and happy disposition, and in the autumn of his life he still retains the fresh, unspoiled mental outlook of slightly inebriated undergraduate.

A keen matchmaker and intrepid impersonator, Lord Ickenham is in his element when at large on a sweetness-and-light-spreading excursion. On this occasion the hapless object of his benevolence are his love-lorn nephew, Reginald ('Pongo') Twistleton, and Pongo's former crony, Bill Oakshot. Invariably a mixed blessing, this time the gleam in Uncle Dynamite's eye heralds trouble of a major kind...

Life here is vastly different: no uniforms, co-ed swimming, student councils with real power, drama clubs, and a focus on inquiry-based learning. The cost is prohibitive (RM 30,000ā€“100,000/year vs. free national schooling). This creates a "two-tier" society where the elite avoid the national exams and the stress of buli and rojak (mixed) culture.
