Ex-Petronas manager met Petros CFO at KL golf club in 2024, court hears
It was the same year that Khairul Akmal Jasni allegedly attempted to disclose Petronas's confidential document to Petros.
Former Petronas manager Khairul Akmal Jasni appeared in court, accused of attempting to share a confidential document with Petros. In 2024, Khairul met with Petros CFO Azha Jalil Abdul Jalil at a Kuala Lumpur golf club, according to a witness who could not recall the exact date of their informal interview. At a later interview in Sarawak, Khairul's HR colleague advised him on an appropriate salary for a position he had applied for, although the witness could not remember the specific salary range she suggested.
Khairul had also applied for the role of head of upstream finance at Petros, but declined the offer due to it not meeting his salary expectations. The confidential document, detailing Petronas's Q1 2024 upstream business performance, was allegedly taken from Petronas by Khairul on June 8, 2024, and handed over to Petros. If convicted, Khairul faces a minimum fine of RM1 million and up to one year in prison under Section 203A(1) of the Penal Code.
His lawyer, Louis Liaw, argued on his behalf. The trial, presided over by Judge Mazuliana Abdul Rashid, resumes the following day.
