Update: Thank you for your prompt email queries. I am not affiliated to any of these 5 charting software companies. Or implying that my in-house brokerage house charting software is good/bad. Just sharing what i found, serving as my personal software, presenting information to the online audience. I welcome you to open a trading account with me. :)
There are many websites offering free stock charts. Some requiring subscription, some not. I managed to find some websites that offer charts for Singapore stocks. I have also rated their service and ranked according to my preference.
I used an example of a penny stock, Tuan Sing Holdings, as a test subject for the websites. There are some sites that only cover large cap stocks, but I want to make sure they have a good collection and using a penny stock would affirm that. Secondly, I would also evaluate the data – how many years of data does the website provide. Thirdly, I would use 2 simple indicators – simple moving average for 50 and 200 days, to check on their availability of technical indicators.
All in all, it's always good to have options, though when you open a trading account, it should have a free stock chart in the online platform too.

Reuters is another famous financial data provider.
