As far as I know, 5, 8 and 12 all go by their channel numbers only.
 
5 is english programming (mostly US shows)
8 carries Chinese programs, mostly in-house
12 is the Malay channel also known as "Suria"

All three are run by Mediacorp, which owns The New Straits Times.
 
The dial in Singapore now looks like this (sourced from www.asiawaves.net):
