In Singapore, W.i.t.c.h. was published by Chuang Yi Publications, who no longer seem to exist. I have most of these comics and finding info on these is quite hard online so here's some key details. These comics were also distributed in Malaysia.
Throughout this page, issues and books I don't have are marked with an asterisk (*).
Chuang Yi published the first 58 main issues, the last four as part of a spin off magazine called "W.i.t.c.h. Glitz", as well as some specials. All of the main issues are about A5 sized.
The issue's title in usually included on the front cover, in the contents page and on the pin up art at the start of the comic section. Several issues vary the capitalisation used between these places but at least one is usually in title case so that is used throughout this list. There are a couple of issues where the title seems to be changed between these places so both titles are in included.
Many of the dates for these comic releases are inferred as the issues themselves aren't usually dated, like most magazines I'm familiar with. Many of the dates from early on are from the advert for the next issue in the back of the previous, which will frequently say something like "check out the next issue in May". There are also some dates which also include years, like in the terms and conditions for competitions. Otherwise, the dates are simply extended outwards from there, assuming a monthly publishing schedule which remains consistent, so if anything did change, these dates may be inaccurate.

W.i.t.c.h. Glitz was the short lived contunation of the magazine in Singapore and Malaysia. The main difference seems to be the larger size (now about B5 rather than A5). The RRP is a little more expensive and it was published at longer intervals, rather than monthly. It was still published by Chuang Yi but the issue titles are no longer featured on the front cover.
As with the main issues, these aren't dated so their dates are from advertisements in the back of previous issues. Glitz #1 was advertised in issue 54. Glitz #4 has no mentions of any future issues and only the first half of the issue 58 comic is included.
| Overall # | Glitz # | Saga | Title | Date | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 55 | 1 | 5 | The Day After | August 2008 | S$5.50 RM$8.90 |
| 56 | 2 | The Riddle | October 2008 | S$5.50 RM$8.90 | |
| 57 | 3 | The Isle of Enchantment | January 2009 | S$5.50 RM$8.90 | |
| 58 | 4 | Illusions | March 2009 | S$5.50 RM$8.90 |
As far as I can find, there were three special issues released in Singapore. There may be more as I can't find an active Singaporean W.i.t.c.h. fandom online like I can for the Philippines to confirm. Both specials that I have are about B5 sized.
| Title | Date | Price | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year Before | November 2004 | S$5.90 RM$8.90 | Issue 11 includes an ad which says the issue will come out mid-November | |
| Cornelia & Caleb | October or November 2005 | S$6.90 RM$9.90 | Issue 22 includes an ad which says coming soon and issue 23 includes an ad which says out now | |
| Olympics | July 2008 | S$6.90 RM$9.90 | Issue 54 includes an ad which says "out in July" | * |
Additionally, I have a promotional sample. It looks like it was published after the comics began (it has an ad which focuses on the cover of issue 8 so I'd guess it's from about that time) but it has a few pages of the first issue included inside. Interestingly, it is not the start of the issue, but part of the Halloween party. Like the main comics, it is about A5 sized.
Chuang Yi also released five graphic novels (again, as far as I can see) which each contain three issues of the comics. All five originally cost S$9.90 in Singapore or RM$15.90 in Malaysia. They are 14.5 x 21 cm in size, just slightly smaller than A5 in width but the same in height.

Chuang Yi also released several W.i.t.c.h. books.
These are the reason why I started trying to collect W.i.t.c.h. releases from Singapore. They're the same series as the Adventures series in the USA written by Lene Kaaberbøl, but unlike in the USA, all five books were actually published. Here, they seemed to be called "W.i.t.c.h. Pocketbooks" instead. All five books were originally published in December 2004 and originally cost S$7.90 in Singapore or RM$12.90 in Malaysia. (They also use a different translation than the American versions.)
| # | Title | W.i.t.c.h. | USA Title | ISBN | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Salamander's Heart | Will | When Lightning Strikes | 981-260-254-2 | |

| 4 | Green Magic | Cornelia | Stolen Spring | 981-260-257-7 | |
| 5 | The Cruel Empress | Hay Lin | The Cruel Empress | 981-260-258-5 | * |
Chuang Yi published four books in the series "The Secret Books W.I.T.C.H.". This is the same series that was published in the USA and UK as the Guidebooks but with different titles. These books originally cost S$9.90 in Singapore or RM$15.90 in Malaysia.

| 4 | 100 Bewitching Ways to Have Fun on Vacation | N/A | * |
Chuang Yi also published a version of the novelisations, known in the fandom as the chapter books (which is a name I practically refuse to use as it's such a bad one), but only the first 12 as far as I can find. They called these "W.i.t.c.h. Chronicles".
