Depends on who you are talking to. In this part of the world if you say Singaporewallah(s) or Singaporekar(s), I would know who you are talking about.

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
Things and people of or having to do with Singapore are Singaporean.

Re: Is it gramatically correct to say Singapore people or Singaporeans ?

Is there something wrong to call them Singaporeans? I lived there for two years and honestly it's hard to distinguish people's nationality because it's a very diverse country. There are Europeans, Americans, Filipinos (I am one), Chinese, Indians all over the place. So don't worry too much about it, just call it Singaporeans. Problem solved.
