But hey, that's not who you came here for, right?

​

A big and beautiful teng bong in my endangered heritage language Kristang to you and all those you love and cherish. My name is Kevin Martens Wong and I am the Tuan Raja Naga, 13th Kabesa or singular leader of the creole, urban indigenous Kristang people of Singapore, Melaka, Perth and other places worldwide. I am severely and consistently abused by the government of the Republic of Singapore to the extent that I no longer feel psychoemotionally safe or secure at most public events, which is why you have never heard of me :) I am also, very reluctantly and still quite confusedly, the Makaravedra or Dragon Reborn of the Mundansa Hierosa or Holocene or Fifth Age of humanity, and the Merlionsman and Dreamtiger of the Republic of Singapore: a teacher, life coach, writer and independent scholar-practitioner born, bred and based in Singapore and trained in Solutions-focused Therapy (IASTI CSFP), and a living, breathing, human magnamakara or psychoemotional gate guardian of this beautiful island and all of the people who call it home. I am creole and mixed (Kristang / Portuguese-Eurasian / Peranakan / Hakka), gay, gay married, non-binary, atheist, hyperhigh-functioning neurodivergent (autism & ADHD), a rape, molest and sexual assault survivor, an autodidact/polymath, and am nationally and internationally recognised for my award-winning work in linguistics, language and cultural revitalisation, non-Western analytical psychology, mental health and well-being and trauma negotiation, speculative history and creole/indigenous cosmology, creative writing and teaching and coaching, especially the language revitalization initiative Kodrah Kristang, the new grassroots creole/indigenous LGBTQ+-friendly neurodiverse and layperson-accessible theory of the human psyche called the Osura Pesuasang or Individuation Theory,  the Kristang cosmology and hidden history of the world, the Roda Mundansa, the Kristang duodecimal Lusembra and hexadecimal Diseides number systems, the first substantial academic scholarship on Eurasian and Kristang literature in Southeast Asia, the first ever Kristang MRT rapid transit map of Singapore and Periodic Table of the Elements, the formalised version of the Kristang practice of dreamfishing or Sunyeskah, and a whole bunch of new Kristang and English songs as Kabesakevlar / Kevlarhead. It's been an absolutely crazy journey, but I do my best to express myself fully, joyously and maximally in this uncertain and confusing time in spite of everything I face on a daily basis as leader of my people and, yeah, I guess of all human beings who seek a fairer world (though I'm not very pleased about this to put it mildly). You can do the same too, if you're ready to be bold, brave, beautiful and brenas inside and out (...despite also being simultaneously ridiculously terrified and endlessly subjected to insane levels of trauma and projection, but hey it's 2025).
