  "account": "Former Petronas executive Khairul Akmal Jasni was charged in the Sessions Court for allegedly attempting to obtain sensitive documents from Petros. Kuala Lumpur: The Sessions Court heard on today that Khairul, who was previously responsible for Petronas, was caught on suspicion by Petros' Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Azha Jalil Abdul Jalil in Kuala Lumpur in 2024. An undisclosed witness testified that Khairul was subsequently arrested by Azha in Sarawak. In his statement, the former Petronas HR representative said that the two were good friends, and that Khairul admitted to advising the accused regarding the appropriate salary to request from Petros. This witness, in their early 40s, also stated that Khairul had applied for the position of deputy finance chief at Petros. Syafina, the deputy prosecutor, asked how much the salary range for that position was. The witness replied that they did not remember, but as the HR representative they had advised Khairul on the appropriate salary to request from Petros. Syafina asked if Khairul had applied for the position. The witness said they had asked him about the progress of the arrest, and he attended the formal arrest with Azha and Abang Arabi Narudin (deputy president of Petronas' right-hand management) at Petros' office in Kuching. Syafina then asked about the informal arrest. The witness said that the arrest took place at Petros' Kuching office with Azha. However, the witness said they did not remember the exact date of the arrest nor the salary amount offered to Khairul. Earlier, Petros HR representative Nurul Qurratu Aini Laila Junaidi confirmed that Khairul had applied for the job through Petros' website on Jan 24, 2024. She said Khairul rejected the offer as it did not meet his expected salary. Khairul was charged under Section 203A(1) of the Penal Code, read in conjunction with Section 511 of the Penal Code, which prescribes a minimum fine of RM1,000 or imprisonment for up to one year, or both, if proven guilty. Khairul was represented by lawyer Louis Liaw. The trial continued the next day.",
