The 1988 storyline features a gay relationship between Kai De (played by Alfred Sun) and his much older dance instructor boyfriend Nigel (played by Adam Chen). Nigel eventually dies from an unspecified sexually transmitted disease, which is heavily implied to be AIDs. Silent Walls was criticised by the LGBT community in Singapore for perpetuating harmful gay stereotypes.
