Bekas pengurus Petronas jumpa CFO Petros di kelab golf KL pada 2024, dakwa saksi
Pertemuan berlangsung pada tahun sama Khairul Akmal Jasni didakwa cuba dedah dokumen sulit Petronas kepada Petros.
On June 8, 2024, former Petronas executive Khairul Akmal Jasni faced allegations in court for allegedly attempting to access confidential documents belonging to Petros. A witness, who wished to remain anonymous, testified that Khairul met with Petros' Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Azha Jalil Abdul Jalil in Kuala Lumpur during that year. The anonymous witness also revealed that Khairul subsequently met with Azha in Sarawak.
According to the witness, a former colleague of Khairul, now in his 40s and employed by Petronas' Human Resources department, stated that they were friends and that Khairul had previously advised him on the appropriate salary to demand from Petros. The witness also confirmed that Khairul had applied for a position as deputy chief financial officer at Petros, for which the salary range was not specified.
When questioned about the application, the witness mentioned that Khairul had inquired about the advancement of the charges against him during a private meeting with Azha and Petros' deputy chairman Abang Arabi Narudin at Petros' office in Kuching.
The anonymous witness further recounted that Khairul had also been summoned to a private meeting with Azha at the Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club, though they could not recall the exact date or the salary amount requested for Khairul. The witness had previously been informed by Petros' Human Resources employee Nurul Qurratu Aini Laila Junaidi that Khairul had applied for a job on Petros' website on January 24, 2024, but had rejected the offer due to the salary being below his expectations.
Khairul was charged with attempting to disclose documents related to Petronas' Q1 2024 upstream business performance - operational and financial, obtained during his tenure at the company. He was found guilty under Section 203A(1) in conjunction with Section 511 of the Penal Code, which carries a minimum fine of RM1,000 or imprisonment for up to one year, or both. Khairul was represented by lawyer Louis Liaw, and the trial continued the following day in front of Judge Mazuliana Abdul Rashid.
