Najib's case was heard in the HC. His right to appeal to the CoA and now subsequently to the FC is not barred.

Sam Ke Ting, on the other hand requires leave to appeal to the CoA and leave is restricted to questions of law.

This could be the distinguishing factor.
Also in 🇲🇾, when defence is called it means that if you elect to remain silent you will be convicted. Sam Ke Ting opting to give unsworn statements from the dock as opposed to doing so under oath certainly did not help her. Not putting the defence during prima facie is 🤦‍♂️
The best chance she has is to challenge the High Court's decision in overturning her initial acquittal at the end of the prosecution's case. Read through the decision of the mag and there were some solid points in her favour.
The more important question from all this is why in Malaysia the prosecution does not have a limited right of appeal against acquittals? In the UK, the prosecution's right to appeal is extremely limited (almost non-existent) Here, the head state dpp conducts the appeal #congrats
