  "summary": "Rosmah Mansor, wife of former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, has filed an appeal against her conviction in the RM1.25 billion solar hybrid project corruption case. In her notice of motion, Rosmah sought permission under the Courts of Judicature Act 1964 and the Court of Appeal Rules 1994 to adduce fresh evidence during the hearing of her appeal. She claims that prosecution witness Rayyan Radzwill Abdullah was pressured into providing incriminating evidence against her during the trial, and has submitted three additional documents as supporting evidence. These include a covering letter from Messrs Shamsuddin & Co, a police report lodged by Rayyan on the same day, and a statutory declaration sworn by Rayyan on July 10, along with its attachments. Rosmah also seeks to recall Rayyan to give further evidence before the Court of Appeal or the High Court. The application will be heard on September 1, and the court has been asked to stay the hearing of her appeal pending the disposal of the application.",
