  "account": "The High Court has set January 14 next year to manage the next stage of proceedings in Rosmah Mansor's appeal against the conviction and sentence related to the RM1.25 billion hybrid solar project scandal. Judge Aslam Zainuddin made this decision after being informed that the appeal to the Federal Court allowing Rosmah to present additional evidence has not been decided yet. Rosmah's lawyer, Akberdin Abdul Kader, informed the court that the court's reasons for the appeal have not been obtained. The court set 25 November to manage the appeal to clarify the status of the case, while another mention was set for December 3. Deputy Public Prosecutor Mustaffa P Kunyalam confirmed that the prosecution is also waiting for the court's reasons for the appeal before taking further steps in the appeal. On September 1, the Federal Court allowed Rosmah to present additional evidence in her appeal against the conviction and sentence in the RM1.25 billion hybrid solar project scandal case. This additional evidence includes a police report and a sworn statement from witness Rayyan Radzwill Abdullah, who claims he was pressurized to give evidence by the prosecution during the trial. The prosecution filed an appeal in the Federal Court on September 4 to challenge this decision. On September 17, the Federal Court allowed the prosecution's request to delay the implementation of the order permitting the additional evidence to be recorded while waiting for the appeal to be decided. On September 2, Rosmah was summoned for contempt of court for requesting RM187.5 million in bribes from former Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd director Saidi Abang Samsudin, through former special officer Rizal Mansor, as an inducement to help the company secure the hybrid solar project. He was also found guilty of accepting RM5 million from Saidi through Rizal at Seri Perdana on November 20, 2016, and an additional RM1.5 million at his residence in Langgak Duta on September 7, 2017. Rosmah was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment for each of the three charges, with concurrent sentences, and a fine of RM970 million. She was also given a reprieve from immediate execution of the sentence until the appeal is decided.",
