Is it gramatically correct to say Singapore people or Singaporeans ?

[SGquality]

Is it right to say that "Singapore people like durians" or "Singaporeans like durians".

I have heard people use Singapore people or Chinese people or American people ... is that right or we should be refering as Singaporeans or Chinese or Americans

That's up to the Singaporites.

In the context that you mentioned, Singapore people or Chinese people or American people ... is a direct translation of Chinese Mandarin and used commonly in the everyday life of many people in Singapore - so called Singlish (Singapore English).

The correct version is Singaporean or People of Singapore - as in their national oath (We the Citizens of Singapore................)

I believe that the Singaporish would have the final say.

Considering all the above, I feel saying Singapore people is incorrect.

Thanks
