Former Petronas executive met Petros finance chief at KL golf club

The meeting between the ex-Petronas manager and the Petros CFO took place at a private golf club in the capital, according to evidence presented during court proceedings on Monday. The encounter occurred during a year in which the former executive is accused of attempting to disclose sensitive company documents to Petros, Malaysia's sovereign wealth fund. The nature of their discussion at the golf club remains unclear from the court record. The case centres on allegations that Khairul Akmal Jasni sought to transfer proprietary Petronas information to a rival state entity. Investigators have been examining the circumstances surrounding the alleged disclosure attempt and any interactions between parties at the time of the alleged breach. The court proceedings are ongoing as authorities continue to investigate the matter.
