Ex-Petronas manager expressed wish to join Petros in work email, court hears

A Petronas human resources manager, Suhaidah Labu, testified in a Sessions Court in Kuala Lumpur that an email containing Petronas's first-quarter 2024 operational and financial performance report was sent to two Petros senior officers. The email, dated May 10, 2024, was allegedly sent by then Petronas manager Khairul Akmal Jasni, who expressed his intention to join Petros.

According to Suhaidah, the email was shown to her by Petronas industrial relations officers on December 6, 2024, as part of an investigation into Khairul's resignation. However, Suhaidah told the court that there was no record of Khairul's resignation in the system, and he was still an active Petronas employee at the time.

During cross-examination, Suhaidah admitted that she was unsure who actually sent the email to Petros's senior officers, namely CFO Azha Jalil Abdul Jalil and CEO Janin Girie. Khairul is accused of attempting to disclose a confidential Petronas document to Petros.
