Singaporean
Southeast Asian islander
Singaporean refers to a person from Singapore, the island city-state in Southeast Asia, or to anything relating to the country: Singaporean cuisine, a Singaporean passport.
The population is ethnically diverse—predominantly Chinese, Malay, and Indian—so the term describes citizenship and national identity rather than ethnicity.
