唐人 should be the right term. My great great grandfather already used this term to separate himself from CCP ruled China. He said to avoid trouble from the British government.
Usually Teochew stock ppl will use Deng Nang.

nowadays this term hardly hear it liao.

I heard people use Deng Nang a few times when I was younger. It is the same word.

Last time where got Singapore. It was a British colony.

Nowadays more ppl use the 华人 already.
The term Huaren (華人) for a Chinese person is an abbreviation of Huaxia with ren (人, person).

華夏人 is technically the official words. Sounds very high ses and satki!

唐人 you associate with Tang Dynasty which is Chinese. Edmw hates China always quoting 5000 years of culture. You want to associate with them?

它们说你跟它们一样是中国人就是中国人,你到时要怎么办?

不听话就骂你是汉奸叛徒和卖国贼。

We are Chinese from China, our nationality is Singaporen.

Just like Malay here are from Indonesia they are Singaporean.
