It seems to me that the people here aren't talking about SA 2019 unlike your counterparts in the EDMW forum (Hardware Zone, obviously), so:

Think a lot of our local BW members are probably too young to remember this Mediacorp (then called Singapore Broadcasting Corporation) drama called Breaking Point back in 1992. 

 

They was an episode with a rather bold homoerotic scene played by Li Nanxing and Lin Yisheng which caused a lot of parents to complain to the media. 

 

Some parents complained that because they watch Mediacorp (then SBC) dramas with their kids, they were forced to explain to their kids about man-man love, because of that episode. Other viewers felt that S'pore was not ready for gay scenes to be shown on local dramas.

 

Although SBC obviously could not retract that episode, they never attempted something like it again ever since.

 

Anyway, here's that clip from that episode  :D

True. But Lin Yisheng got that bad boy look, so he's suited for that role. :twisted:

For a straight guy, he played it quite well, I must say.

Chen HW looks too 乖 (well-behaved) to play Yisheng's role.

 

Yeah, I remember that one, with Edmund and Desmond, although it was't as daring as the one above. Had quite a crush on Desmond Shen back then.   :D

They were definitely the kind of guys we liked back then... the just nice bods - not much of the solid lean muscles of today.

Wow.... nice video clip there... has a soft porn feel to it! 

 

Yeah, man!

 

You can imagine the backlash from the public back in 1992. I think even Prof Tommy Koh stepped in to say that such scenes were not appropriate for S'pore TV.

 

Anyway, I wished that bitchy girl had not barged into the gym at the last minute in the later part of the clip.

Would have loved to see what Lin Yisheng would have done to Li Nanxing otherwise.  :twisted:

I used to think Desmond Tan was nice but he's getting more and more 妖 nowadays. Look at his IG posts or media campaign. Too much of flamboyant fashion styles and colours.

Desmond Shen, you mean? The hunk bathing in front of Edmund in the above-mentioned clip?  :twisted:

 

Heard that after his popularity peaked, his life was not so good: became bankrupt, got divorced, and nearly committed suicide.

 

Now he's doing a natural healing business. Saw the book he wrote selling at Popular.

Maybe he's trying to be versatile instead of just having macho manly image all the time. Can be boring.

Not very sure. I think he wanted to use the money he made from acting to go into business.

 

He opened a foot reflexology business for awhile after he left SBC, I read.

 

This is his book. Might buy it the next time I see it in Popular.

Wow Lin Yisheng was seriously handsome. I think he aged rather quickly so never got to become an SBC (TCS?) leading actor.

 

Yeah, he was very good-looking when he joined the industry. He had that very exotic, pan-Asian look. Incidently, he was a model before joining SBC.

 

To me, he was also a very good actor. No matter what role he was given, he always executed it very well. Not sure if you recall the Mediacorp drama 东游记 (1998). He acted as Tie Gui Li, the immortal who uses a clutch to walk. You can see him at 17:00 below. 

 

 

 

Anyway, you are right that somehow, he was never given any leading roles; he always played supporting roles, despite his good looks and performance.

Maybe it's because of his small built? Or maybe he didn't suck up to the right people in the industry? Not sure.

 

Sad to say, as you correctly pointed out, he didn't age well. Recent photos show his face looking very bloated and puffy, a far cry from his early days in SBC.

Also, he was convicted of cheating several people of a huge sum of money some years ago.

Don't think so. Probably he (Desmond Shen) was using acting as a stepping stone to other career paths. That's why he didn't stay long.

Don't think he had any health problems.

 

Yeah, LYS's face is pretty puffy and bloated now. Pity.

Yes, he acted as a navy diving officer in the Navy drama below back in 1990. 

 

I can't recall if there were any scenes of him in his speedos in that show, but I remember a promotional picture from that show in TNP back then showing him in speedos  :clap:

If I remember correctly, he did appear in Speedo underwater and walking around.

Yes!! At 8:00 (link below) onwards!! Think he was wearing swimming trunks, not underwear  :lol:

 

Notice also that he cut his RSN vest into half in order to show off his taut abs!

I think that's a chargeable offence! LOL

Found another scene with Desmond in speedos!

 

Starting at 16:20 in the link below.

 

There's even a rather close-up shot of his cute bum while he's in those sexy tight black speedos (somewhere at 16:39)!  :twisted:
