Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak who is on a six-day visit to China today denied that the various deals signed are akin to Malaysia being sold off.

He vowed that the infrastructure projects will remain owned by Malaysia and operated by Malaysians.

"There seems to be some who don't appear to welcome this investment in the Malaysian economy, and don't seem to want the resulting jobs, skills and improvement in people's lives.

"Some have scare mongered that Malaysia is being sold off. This is absurd and absolutely false," Najib said in a statement.
