PUTRAJAYA: The negative perceptions created of the 1Malaysia Development Bhd issue have led the public to become suspicious of the state investment arm, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

"Certain quarters had painted the deal as if it was to save 1MDB and because of the perception, everyone was against it and we are seen as guilty," he said.
