00:02Datin Seri Rosma Mansour has succeeded at the Court of Appeal in her bid to aduce additional
00:08evidence in her appeal against her conviction and sentence in the 1.25 billion ringgit solar
00:14hybrid project case. A three-judge panel, chaired by Justice Azahari Kamal Ramli,
00:20unanimously allowed the application, ruling that it was meritorious. The other judges on the panel
00:25were Justices Dr. Chuka Singh and K. Munyandi. Justice Chu said the additional evidence
00:31is to be obtained from the 16th prosecution witness, Rayan Radzwill Abdullah, by way of
00:36further cross-examination and re-examination. Rayan is a former consultant and business partner of
00:42JEPAC Holdings, Sendirian Berhad. The hearing to record the new evidence has been sent back to the
00:48High Court to be heard before a new judge.
00:51We didn't attack the decision that had already been made by Dr. Zaid.
00:54Oh, yes. Yes, yes, yes, of course.
00:56That is one of the tests that we need to demonstrate to the panel today that the fresh evidence that
01:02will have some sort of bearing on the outcome of the case. So, of course, the truth veracity
01:08will have to be tested. We understand that there's concern whether or not you should actually
01:13lock stock in Babylon, but we have no issue for his, this new evidence to be tested. We want
01:18it to be tested. We want it to be shown to the world at night that this additional evidence
01:23is credible, reliable, and ought to be taken in the first instance.
01:27The panel actually ruled that despite it is allowed to be, I mean, the truthfulness
01:31will be asserted by the High Court judge.
01:33Yes, yes, yes.
01:34Of course, Rayan...
01:36All I would say is, today, justice has been served. Seven years!
01:42Rosma, Dating Street, Rosma suffered because of Gopal Sri Ram. And I say here, underequivocally.
01:49Yes, yes, we have to come back for the continued hearing next month. The court has already fixed it.
01:54We are glad it's also before a new judge, not before just designing. Let that be on record.
01:59October date will be the main appeal.
02:01The date, the main appeal has been fixed.
02:03October 14th.
02:04October 14th, yes.
02:06On September 1st, 2022, Rosma was found guilty of soliciting RM187.5 million and accepting RM6.5 million
02:17in bribes from former JEPAK Holdings Managing Director Saidi Abang Samsuddin, through her former aide,
02:24Datuk Rizal Mansour.
02:25The bribes were an inducement to help JEPAK Holdings secure the solar hybrid project for 369 rural schools
02:32in Sarawak from the Education Ministry.

02:43She was subsequently granted a stay of execution pending her appeal.
02:56Her husband was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment on each charge to open the door and that
02:57she was called the Q&A to not be a great judge.
