Pakatan Pahang assemblypersons said the low price of timber costing the state potential revenue of an estimated RM2.1 billion could have been averted with an open tender system.

PKR Semambu assemblyperson Lee Chean Chung and PAS Beserah assemblyperson Andansura Rabu demanded that Pahang Menteri Besar Adnan Yaakob explain why the state's pricing was far below that of Kedah's, as an example.
