Witness testimony in an ongoing legal matter has placed a former Petronas executive at a meeting with a Petros financial officer at a golf club in Kuala Lumpur during 2024, according to court proceedings.
The meeting timing coincides with allegations against Khairul Akmal Jasni, who is accused of attempting to disclose sensitive Petronas documents to Petros, Malaysia's state-owned oil and gas company.
The witness account provides a potential link between the executive and Petros officials during a period when the alleged document disclosure is said to have occurred. The nature of discussions at the golf club meeting has not been publicly detailed.
Petros and Petronas, both state-owned energy entities, operate within Malaysia's oil and gas sector. The case represents a significant development in allegations involving the handling of confidential corporate materials between the two organisations.
The proceedings continue as authorities examine the circumstances surrounding the alleged attempt to transfer sensitive documents between the rival entities.
