Bekas pengurus Petronas nyata hasrat sertai Petros dalam e-mel kerja

Former Petronas executive Khairul Akmal Jasni is facing charges of attempting to expose confidential documents to the rival company Petros through an email, according to court records. In June 2024, Jasni, who was the Human Resources (Finance and Risk) Manager at Petronas, expressed his desire to join Petros via an email to two senior Petros officials.

The email allegedly contained a report titled "Q1 2024 Upstream Business Performance - Operational and Financial" dated May 10, 2024. The email was addressed to Petros' CFO, Azha Jalil Abdul Jalil, and CEO, Janin Girie. Presented as a sixth witness in the Khairul's trial, Petronas' corporate relations officer Jumsuri Basri and Zatil Ismah Azmi showed the email to the court on December 6, 2024, to verify whether Jasni had left his position at Petronas.

Though no record of his resignation exists in the system, and he remains an active employee, Jasni's lawyer Louis Liaw questioned who actually sent the email to Petros' senior officials. Liaw concluded that the email was sent by Jasni, but admitted he did not know who wrote or pressed the send button. During his testimony, Suhaidah also stated that Jasni had previously verbally expressed his desire to be transferred to Sarawak, where his family resides.

However, this request was not fulfilled due to a lack of vacant positions for him in Sarawak. Regarding Jasni's performance at Petronas, Suhaidah testified that he exhibited outstanding performance and was considered a key talent within the company's financial circles. Charged under Section 203A(1) of the Penal Code, read in conjunction with Section 511 of the Penal Code, which prescribes a minimum penalty of RM1 million, imprisonment up to one year, or both, if found guilty of the alleged misconduct, the trial proceeded with Judge Mazuliana Abdul Rashid presiding, with the hearing continuing on November 18.
