What drove the ex-Petronas manager to ask RM37,000 salary?

Question

Accepted Answer

The ex-Petronas manager asked for RM37,000 because he cited his oil and gas experience
A Sessions Court heard that the former Petronas manager, Mohd Khairul Akmal Mohd Jasni, requested a salary of RM37,000 per month instead of Petros’s initial RM25,000 offer. Petros Human Resource Analyst Nurul Qurratu Aini Laila Junaidi testified that the reason given for the higher request was his experience in both domestic and international oil and gas operations.
The job offer and the salary gap Petros made
Nurul Qurratu Aini Laila told the court that Petros extended a job offer for the Head Finance (Gas Aggregator & Sarawak Resource Management (SRM)) position with a monthly salary of RM25,000 on March 27, 2024. The role involved managing financial affairs for SRM and Gas Aggregator. She said the offer followed an interview panel selection of Mohd Khairul Akmal as the suitable candidate.
The RM37,000 request and why it was made
During the hiring process, Mohd Khairul Akmal requested RM37,000 per month. The HR witness stated that his reason for seeking more than Petros’s initial offer was his experience in both domestic and international oil and gas operations. She also said Petros could not meet the RM37,000 demand and therefore stood by the RM25,000 offer.
What happened after he rejected the offer
Nurul Qurratu Aini Laila said that after Mohd Khairul Akmal rejected the RM25,000 offer, Petros did not make any counter-offer. The testimony placed the salary discussion within the wider timeline of the job application submitted through Petros’s internal system on Jan 24, 2024.
How the testimony fits the ongoing trial
Mohd Khairul Akmal is charged with attempting to disclose a document titled “Q1 2024 Upstream Business Performance Operational & Financial” to Petros in June 2024. The court heard that he allegedly sent a confidential report from a Petronas email to a Petros email address at 3.19 pm on June 8, 2024. The trial before Judge Mazuliana Abdul Rashid is set to resume tomorrow.
