That is what local students said when they found out about St James Power Station's policy of waiving club entry fees for foreign students in order to cultivate a young, cosmopolitan party scene.
Still, National University of Singapore (NUS) law student Dennis Tan, 22, said: "It is counter- productive. It will turn away local customers as it seems like they are paying to subsidise these foreign students."
Recent Singapore Management University graduate Benjamin Mui, 25, said: "It is discriminatory but many clubs also let people in free because they are models or are regulars.
"It makes business sense because exchange students and tourists are probably willing to spend more money to maximise their short stay here."
Popular nightspots such as The Butter Factory, Ministry of Sound (MOS) and Zouk said they do not have similar nationality-specific policies, although MOS has an on-going promotion that waives the cover charge for all tertiary students every Wednesday.
Some nightspot operators likened St James' entry policy to the "Ladies' Night" or profession-specific promotions in place at most clubs.
However, all agreed that it is a nightclub's prerogative to set entry rules to attract their target clientele, however discriminatory they may seem.
Deputy editor of Marketing magazine, Mr Marcus Chhan, feels that St James' door policy is a bad move, publicity-wise.
"This is Singapore and this is a nightclub that is based in Singapore. Are they saying that they place more importance on international students having a good time than local students doing so?" he questioned.
NUS graduate Lin Shumin, 22, agreed: "It's disappointing. I won't go to St James since they look down on locals like me."
Other young party-goers had differing views, which indicated that not everyone appreciates an expatriate-friendly partying atmosphere.
Catering executive Amanda Ong, 21, said she avoids nightspots with a more international crowd as "they get more rowdy and their partying culture is very different".
However, Singaporean Lionel Yeo, 23, who studies in the US, said he appreciated St James? policy, as "it can be hard for an international student to feel comfortable in a club full of locals".
He added that St James at least offered "something different from the usual clubs full of Singaporeans you already know".
For Finnish exchange student Ville Vimpari, 24, the discrimination does not offer as many advantages as it suggests.
Said Mr Vimpari, who has been studying at NUS for the past year: "We get free entrance but we have to buy drinks. If you pay for entrance, you'll get free drinks, so the cost works out to be the same."
Also, contrary to popular belief, being foreign is not always something which is favoured.
Azy, a door host at Velvet Underground, revealed that she regularly turns away international students as many of them tend to be underaged and use false identity cards.
