Get out of the country ASAP. Come to San Francisco. You won't go to jail here for posting pictures. Apply for asylum or whatever later, but get your butt on a plane ASAP.
The U.S. is the last place you want to seek refugee from an unjust government.
The downside is asylum/refugee can be somewhat political. Not sure what the USA's relationship is with Malaysia, and it may offend Singapore. It's better to be from a country nobody ever thinks about, or assumes is horrible like Somalia or Eritrea.
Sorry to be pedantic but there are a lot of pictures you can post in the US that will get you sent to jail.
If The Onion didn't get in trouble for this one, then the US is safe. Cartoon, not safe for work.

(sorry, used to seeing NSFW, not "not safe for work" so clicked on it before I realized)
It's a harmless picture, a comic, from a satirical magazine. It shouldn't be considered unsafe for work.
People who enter a country illegally and then claim asylum status are unlikely to be in any position to keep their business running.
You could go to the USA, Canada, or EU country embassy and see if they can help you with asylum etc.
I would recommend Canada.
Even if it were easy as a pie, OP is worried about being convicted of a 'crime' which is not considered a crime in most of the developed world. So, he has a chance of being granted asylum.
Faking a passport, however, IS a very serious crime and it would be something ridiculously stupid to do.
If only all of the world's persecuted people could move to SF!
Because he's posting on HN for advice. Because SF and the Bay Area has a higher proportion of immigrants and human rights organizations than many other areas of the country. Because it's more likely easier to get here if he's in a country like Indonesia. Because I live in SF AND I HAVE A FUCKING COUCH HE CAN SLEEP ON if necessary.
You insensitive pricks make me sick.
