(formerly aka Mrs. Michael Schindhelm 2019-2024. He’s 23 years my senior.)
I’m an individual, non-government, and have never been part of any politics and/or political group. I’ve never showed up claiming to be better than everyone and/or “save” others, and the only people saying this are the ones who make money when people are sick and/or miserable and were told of what I did by others. I’ve certainly never agreed to represent any movement or group and I made that clear in Jan 2017 at Eagle Crest in Singapore (Oei Tiong Ham Park, American Ambassador’s residence — my Singaporean family once owned a property on that road) by flatly declining to speak for the Independent Archive (Freedom of Art Award) when put on the spot on stage after being misnamed as their “Director General”. It’s wrong to drag me into all manners of politics just because someone in politics wants my completely independent individual material for themselves and erase my authorship thinking I’m a nobody — wishful thinking.
My name as per my Singapore passport has never changed. I defer to none.
By law, Swiss authorities have to respect my choice as per passport. If the ones doing this to my records are Caucasians and it can be obviously seen, it’s dishonest to claim this is a “Chinese” way of doing things. Furthermore I’m Singaporean, and so were my pioneering parents and grandparents. My maternal grandmother was the highest educated woman in her entire region and mayor, my uncles and aunts were star athletes (1 School & 2 National), I was a junior gold & silver medalist (the field part of track & field) with the highest entry score for the Arts Gifted program AEP in my year of intake and distinctions in Cambridge UK English exams. It was the only time I ever submitted my works. I chose to do so specifically as it was the only option where it was impossible to be accused of cheating/using anyone else’s work — they used a special regional paper which made it impossible to swap out pages, and the papers were also marked externally by invigilators in Cambridge UK. I could barely keep up with my own spontaneously creative thoughts and my writing had the indisputable hallmarks of English native fluency by age 13 and, above all, originality, i.e. proof of self-directed enquiry/thought. But the school authorities turned down recommendations from my English teachers to have me transferred to a higher gifted program, and instead decided to doom me to taking 1 science (which was basically a refusal of my right to enter Junior College and therefore a good University regardless of how well I did. And now, after I proved everyone wrong, they tried to do this kind of nonsense with my administration in Switzerland to once again force a repeat of their nonsense I’ve already overcome in youth, knowing they are mistaken but spitefully refusing to recognize me due to some kind of quarrel they had before I was even born. This has absolutely nothing to do with me, and is a rubbish attitude towards people and the world. They’re hardly dedicated to learning, excellence and/or furthering/championing the human spirit, it’s just all about this mediocre business of putting down everyone all the time even after they’ve been repeatedly proven wrong by the individuals they target. What the Swiss authorities have done is so backwards, it’s unheard of. It’s political. See explanation below.
They first and foremost do it to their own kind, there’s a level of interference where no one there seems to have a real choice or own anything anymore but seems like they can’t speak up about it.
My numbers have changed.
I’m an Independent writer of English Literature and Fine Artist from Singapore, entirely self-funded and self-directed. I receive no assistance. I’m non-Government.
Trueorigin is my Channel Name,
Conceived of by myself in Australia in 2012 as a sole proprietor;
It’s never been a Family name.
It’s unrelated to any other individual or group.
There’s no such thing as karmic transfer. People were wrong about me.
I’m firmly non-AI, everything you see here is written by myself. No AI used. I was born in Gleneagles Hospital in Singapore. That’s a private hospital. If it were the business of any authority or institute worth their salt to verify my identity rather than obscure it, they would have agreed to take my thumbprint (instead of insisting on playing games with my signature claiming it must be exactly the same) but every one of them refused even though I asked to pay for it. Population recording of one individual is a no-brainer, there are also Federal records. They must follow my birth certificate, with exact parents and grandparents. It’s wrong of them to skip my consent and outright lie about what’s happening, then refuse to disclose information on how they have handled my private data to deny a solution. Let’s drop this charade that anyone would believe I’m “uneducated” (unless they’re less experienced than they believe) when the fact is that some people who get off of seeing the world burn are merely sour I proved immune to their brainwash and highly monetized “education” programs, and I happened to spread some ideas which helped move people into action. I refuse to accept anything that differs from my records. The evidence is irrefutable. I have decades of pristine thumbprint records since birth, which every single one of my passports and IC’s are bound to, and the kind of eloquence which made the lawyer representing those Swiss authorities assume I’m my lawyer rather than the person it’s been done to (says it all), like they suffer from serious confirmation bias and automatically assume everything works, government never does wrong and the person it’s been done to must be uneducated or lack ability to articulate and instruct — *clearly* hardly the case as you can see, and I often will show up in person with my full set of carefully/personally compiled exact documentation as well so they’re unable to run away. My paper documents containing correspondence & original/certified true copy official documents issued by both Singapore and Swiss government authority (cbirth certs, government issued proof of name, proof of family registration, proof of domicile and the subsequent stack of official correspondence with officials and lawyers of government agencies for a simple request to correct my name on their records to match my Singapore passport and birth cert — being denied, as well as official representatives of cantons, Swiss institutes, Swiss medical insurance companies, Swiss and Singapore hospitals and legal papers, weigh 8kg because I’m thorough, precise and have an added decade of experience on top of my education that people lack and therefore are all unable to see the solution clearly enough to administer it. The Swiss authorities were just shocked and often angry that I knew exactly how to navigate their rural system and confront them with precise reference numbers, ID numbers, correct form fields (middle name field vs maiden name field) and even able to guide them blind through their own decentralized system *because I have direct experience using it*, instead of backing down they claimed I was not the actual person or I was allegedly “disrespecting” their cultural (unlawful) way of handling my data and population records by asking them to follow Swiss law and perform these simple corrections. Even after I exited in Jan 2025, they refused to give me proper documents and then refused to admit their mistake to my Swiss lawyer and just gave him a data dump of a whole bunch of documents consisting of their uncorrected mistakes where they deliberately registered me as a different person on each one out of spite, claiming it’s all me, all the same and I have no choice but to accept it because they said so. Everything I provided was there in cold hard proof, sorted and referenced to death in notes (I literally did their homework and solved the problem and instead they acted insulted because I wasn’t “supposed” to know all this or be able to do it so they acted like I was the one who did something wrong), with documents generated by themselves — reference numbers, file numbers, postal code discrepancies (I had clear proof and was able to explain it clearly — they then claimed the problem was that I couldn’t explain it on ONE PAGE. Probably so they could cover their arses), sub accounts created on databases. Most who give themselves the role or sky high salaries have no idea how to do the workings or discover the new questions/equations, they can only wait to be instructed or wait to receive/grab someone else’s formula and memorize/copy it to death as if it were for some exam rather than devise a real-world application for people who have to live our lives. There’s no way anyone on any side can say I have poor record keeping, I have these records despite significant evidence of tampering and document theft — they’re just refusing to look at the cold hard evidence and still hoping to get away by pretending it never happened). It’s easy to run a thumbprint check, takes less than a minute. In Singapore, we do thumbprint checks at banks and government services. No one on the planet has the same thumbprint and police technology has been sophisticated enough for decades to perform accurate identification & matching. My documents clearly prove that in between my application and me physically going to Switzerland to take my position on the invite, there was a man allowed to take my position and register himself as “Mr. Yeo, Yawen”. That’s why when the Swiss Embassy in Singapore claimed it was probably just a simple admin error that would be fixed when I went over, instead of Swiss authority correcting my records on arrival (I requested multiple times and every authority in the chain always insisted it would be done and said I needed to trust them and be more patient because “that’s how things work in the countryside”. They were all in on it.), they then registered me as a different *person* because (I now discovered) the truth is that they’d already decided to give away my position to someone else — an Asian man — using my identity records without disclosing any part of this fact. Despite their warm welcomes up the front what they were doing was far from friendly, they secretly had no intention of honouring my official invite and marriage (all approved/overseen by Swiss government — trail of official documents and dates/postcodes are irrefutable proof that none of their “mistakes” were a mistake, it was precise coordination and denial of instruction/corrections every step of the way which would lead to only one possible outcome without a solution), these were all presented to them in documents so simple to read even a 10 year old would immediately say they’re doing something wrong and need to fix it. Then when I pressed on non-stop for years, they tried to falsely drag in gender politics to fan other people’s ill-will and deny me the solution which was extremely straightforward, instead choosing to deny consent and withhold information from me at that point (failure to disclose that this had indeed happened and that I was registered as two different people, one that was given to a completely different individual without my knowledge, consent and/or involvement). They lied that I was imagining things when I pointed out objective discrepancies using their own official documentation (it’s unfathomable for corporate standards, much less government), then they claimed that Swiss cantonal authority had the right to handle my data/record me any way they wanted and force me to accept that, and even used my requests for them *to correct their mistake in respect of Swiss law* to claim that I was the one who was failing to “respect” their way of recording things. Malfeasance/Misfeasance/Non-feasance (which includes criminalizing omission like what Swiss authorities did in my case, and also acts of wrongdoing by a public official) was already introduced during a golden era in the region 600 years before my year of birth, brought about by a Sardinian female judge (world’s first) before the invading Aragonese undid the country’s progress. In the next few hundred years at least some of those displaced would have settled in the place which was later given to the Italians by the Swiss and became known as Ticino, so in terms of “culture” whatever I’m describing are certainly known concepts and part of their roots. And I’m reminding them of something already achieved when they were at their best, not when they were at their worst (unlike what many seem to try to do to Singapore, as oft noted by our top leaders). In the meantime, after explaining my case to the Swiss Embassy in Singapore with a stack of original documentation, they instead chose to cover it up and emailed me this rubbish about how I was just unlucky and acted like it was as simple as requesting a domicile certificate from my last municipality of residence — the same one I had just shown them in asking for their help to contact these authorities. Perhaps most revealingly, when I proved more than able to argue my own case and present clear & compelling evidence citing prevailing Swiss law, like no one else before me had ever been able to, Swiss authorities and lawyers instead said that I must be the lawyer I hired and not the real person. They used precisely this way of dual administration to maintain this dishonest charade of saying they allegedly believe I am a different person had no right to be accessing my own records. The problem was that everyone acted like no Swiss authority could do anything wrong, and automatically assumed I must have consented or I must’ve done something wrong (it was beyond their grasp that something like this could actually be legally denied, as if authority can never do anything wrong despite their Swiss Civil Code clearly stating that authorities must correct their mistake as soon as it is brought to their attention). For them it was all politics and cover up by default, for me these people were literally forcing me to fight for my life then blaming me for it disingenuously claiming I’m the one who’s allegedly about politics (arranging it so they could falsely claim I’m 3rd gender or a same sex/female couple, I guess? Some made up reasons to pretend I consented, to stop professionals from looking at the documents right in front of them and stepping in). Now Singapore doesn’t get to pretend it also never denied me assistance for years on a government-level matter — I presented the full stack of documents to MFA in person and one guy who kept to himself and was on his laptop the whole time rudely left the room halfway through the appointment and the other tried to tell me it was a personal matter and sent me away to do their work for them (I mean, I must have done something wrong or just not known how to follow basic instruction or ask basic questions — right? After all it’s just as simple as me writing an email by myself to those nice helpful Swiss government people and cc’ing those in Singapore so they can cover their arses, instead of taking immediate appropriate action and doing what Singapore authorities usually do which is to initiate contact with the other government authority on behalf of the citizen once the case and evidence is presented in person).
In future, it will be easy verify any metadata that was tampered with, including my wedding photos.
My old Australian phone number was +61 422 555 225 (till 2015), business account. I actually pulled off a lot of things that were thought to be impossible, partly because nobody told me I couldn’t do it. Ironically much of the move to cast doubt on my identity has come from those who run platforms that claim to be all about originality/authenticity and uncommonness, about travel (some), about diverse and unique experiences off the beaten path, about meeting new and different people. Yet the moment I managed to do all of this independently over a consistent long period, shot through the “glass ceiling” and out the stratosphere, there was shock and outrage from these very same sets that claim to be catering to or even supporting/nurturing (!) people like myself. It’s like I’m not actually supposed to exist unless one of them can put their name on me to take credit for what I am, much less supposed to be seen to fully own my own experiences. So they bang on about ableism, because eugenics, allegedly — then they’re shocked when I reveal how I was hunted down in my jobs because people wanted a taste of that lineage. And by the time I reveal I have friends who are autistic, and some deaf/mute, they are beyond words. What new crap will they come up with now to justify sh** that’s just their longwinded way of trying to tell me they won’t learn and they want to make that my problem? The world can see they’re lying. I refuse to sell out. So all they could do is drag me someplace else in the First World (because they know that’s where I grew up and I won’t go to a 3rd world country and not even Malaysia/KL is palatable for me in terms of development/evolution — told you they grossly misassessed), forcibly water down my records where I have no way to help it (backend government, no one has access to this but government — of course they never admitted what they were doing to prevent any corrective action, I’ve sent letters and showed up in person non-stop until their lawyers thought I’m a lawyer, my actual Swiss lawyer’s sent them 2 rounds of letters to no avail — they’ve admitted to nothing), and scramble my eggs by deliberately mixing up two registrations of people and repeatedly lie that nothing is wrong, then use that to tell the world it’s me hoping the Asian “culture of shame” will motivate regional Asians to do their dirty job and take me down for them. I daresay that’s the new low of the millenia, what they did. I mean do they really think we’re that dumb. Yes some people are but — in general and even now — seriously? It’s 2026 (as of writing this).
I had a live.com address but stopped using it after I discovered it can’t be fully secured. I stopped using hotmail/live or gmail for the same reason.
After “mysteriously” falling off the radar some years ago, it’s now either the craziest or the ballsiest thing for me to try and show up again in 2026 — right in the midst of their fake AI scares (probably to avoid paying real writers like myself for using our original material). Well I’ve done the alleged impossible so many times, what’s another time eh ;) I’m entirely self-directed in all aspects of life and healthy — even if there are those who wish that it were untrue — and am my own boss. No parent company, no benefactors. If there’s anything I’ve learned since 2017, it’s that when you’re on the rise a lot of people try to take inappropriate credit for your progress, development and/or healing for an easy lunch. Many have never experienced building anything they have, they care nothing for true individualism/ original experiences, and the best fruits of their labour are from being willing to follow someone else’s direction rather than when they step out independently and take calculated risks to succeed without a machine. Even if they just deny you the access to modern facilities/services/record keeping and information to artificially make you seem lower and appear ahead of you for a few years, they forget it’s a marathon not a sprint — in the long run for the ages it’s easy to see who the real authors and leaders are. My 30+ years of foolproof record keeping and First World government data (population registration) compared to what they did in Switzerland says it all. People in Swiss authority registered me as a different person when I moved to deny me access to my records and pretend I’m a nobody, it was so extreme no Swiss professional knew what to do.
When I first rose, no one thought it was possible that it was possible for me and a man like that to work together the way we did and we moved the world. Again, it had nothing to do with these people including the one I married and eventually divorced when I found out it was all just Caucasians playing Big China badly. Even the country code for Switzerland, CH, looks like China CN. And a lot of them pretend to be better than they really are. Australia’s recent “progress” threw unique under the bus to become a clone of every “modern” city and you could find this stuff anywhere, a parallel of forced identity loss to line others’ pockets, at the expense of gold standard independent Aussies and actual independents like myself when it’s bad Caucasian leaders doing it. It would be ridiculous for less inner-developed men and women to take credit for any part of my development, even pretend they somehow “taught” me how to speak up or stand up for myself when they’ve never aspired to nor attained any kind of individualism or elite quality for themselves. I don’t mean grades and taking instruction or copying to “make it theirs”, I mean actually having the inner advancement to create First Source material. They should be careful about trying to take credit for my ascent lest they provide me the contrast when they inevitably fail to do so (unless they want to boast about the rent they collected, scrape data off my non-AI website and embarrass themselves).
I’ve only just recovered from the efforts, and I see they’ve tried to erase me. Wish harder.
I will never lower myself to sell my Artwork.
So people can save their weak trolling, if they think that’s going to make me lower myself/my dignity or offer my artwork cheap to try and ‘make good’ — is this what they’re trying to pass off as “bullying”? — lol. Maybe for high school students. If they’re normally cool people then they would do to check themselves and save themselves the embarrassment, lest they be lumped with the kinds who get up to such things being unable to manage themselves — i.e. a head case or an addict of some sort.
My website trueorigin.net used to be a .com.au until I moved away from Australia post-2015. I was the first owner in the domain’s recorded history to take the .com.au web address. My first studio was at Temple Court on 422 Collins St. At the time neither the .com or .net sites were taken. I take no orders for website bidding or the like. *I work with no family members and have no authorized representatives.* I’m a standalone with my own company, and answer to no one.
I’ve been in Australia for the past few weeks, now near Kingscliff. Had my best birthday yet. Departing early next week. I got your messages, as you can see. Thank you. The reason I was unable to head out much was due to recent developments in Switzerland, requiring my close communication and attention. There is a birth certificate involved, which says this person has no grandfather. No grandparents. I’ve just been given to understand that this is the first such document in modern days (in their history, maybe since 1800’s) where someone is registered with no history, like they came out of nowhere. As if their lineage only began with their parents who appeared out of nowhere. This was done by the Swiss authorities. This is completely globally illegal, and against all human rights agreements. What a blatant political move. Let’s drop any pretense that this is a “Chinese” way, when it’s Swiss authorities who did this and denied all information. Furthermore I’m Singaporean, as are my parents and maternal grandparents. I have nothing to do with China at present, I need to work in English, my works are known in the English-speaking world. Singapore is unsuited — there is something wrong with the setup in Singapore. I am preparing to leave. Australians have been good to me for the most part, they helped me get back on my feet twice, but their leaders feel undermined and react badly when your results go big and they can’t own it (tall poppy syndrome, refusal of recognition, will take your money and let you use the system but refuse to back you as authentic) even though I’ve reassured them I’m disinterested in being seen as a role model. I need a setup where I can grow and practice/create/produce freely, release my works and make a living from it, and stop being made to waste my precious resources/creative energy on this endless shuttle run.
When you’ve met those who have been real winners — who really earned it from genuine evolution the winner’s mindset — and they see their own qualities reflected back at them in you, many of them actually want you to succeed. Fortunately I’ve saved my energy for myself and people have noticed. Full energy right now, better than ever, out the gate. :)
I’ve never agreed to support any political cause and/or ideology at any time nor be seen to do so. I was never given any access to stylists or resources specifically to help me become successful as an Artist. It was rather taken away from me after my works proved of value, managers put themselves on my grants and I never got paid anything except partial reimbursement of living expenses. I was a Fashion major (graduated in business & accounting) with a rich social life so I had a great wardrobe of clothes and shoes. But after it was all removed from my home along with my original artworks (which I still needed and was using or in various stages of development) while I was married in Switzerland, and I saw what they did with my government administration, I realized there was no point re-acquiring them unless I basically lived out of storage spaces and horcrux’d my whole collection, then rely on temporary housing. But you basically can’t get anything done like this and I’ve just been put into playing the long game rather than about being positioned to succeed.
They’ve never had to pay any of us or deliver, they’ve just always waited to take over after we abandon everything and run.
People can believe and do whatever they want for themselves. As long as they’re not seriously expecting to force me into anything outside of what we’ve agreed.
For what it’s worth, here I come with pen and brush as sword. :>
I will announce my projects exclusively here on trueorigin.net.
There are many copycats, but only one .Net
Yes, I still like retro video games.
