Question

Accepted Answer

Ex-Petronas Manager Cited Extensive Experience for Higher Salary Demand

Mohd Khairul Akmal Mohd Jasni requested a monthly salary of RM37,000 from Petroleum Sarawak Berhad (Petros) for the Head Finance (Gas Aggregator & SRM) position, significantly higher than the RM25,000 initially offered. This demand was based on his extensive experience in both domestic and international oil and gas operations. Petros did not make a counter-offer after he rejected their initial salary proposal.
Job Offer Details

Petros Human Resource Analyst Nurul Qurratu Aini Laila testified that she contacted Mohd Khairul Akmal on March 27, 2024, to offer him the role of Head Finance (Gas Aggregator & Sarawak Resource Management (SRM)). This position involved managing the financial affairs for SRM and Gas Aggregator. The offer came after an interview panel deemed him a suitable candidate who met all the established criteria for the role.
Salary Negotiation

During the salary negotiation process, Mohd Khairul Akmal explicitly requested a monthly salary of RM37,000. This was a substantial increase from Petros's initial offer of RM25,000. The witness stated that Mohd Khairul Akmal’s justification for this higher salary demand was his accumulated experience across both the domestic and international oil and gas sectors.
Outcome of Negotiation

Despite the higher salary request, Petros was unable to meet Mohd Khairul Akmal's demand and maintained its original offer of RM25,000. Following his rejection of the RM25,000 offer, Petros did not present any revised or counter-offer to him. Mohd Khairul Akmal had previously submitted his application for a position at Petros through its website's internal system on January 24, 2024, months before the alleged incident.
