He said Anwar's was "only one voice ... a minority voice".
"World leaders acknowledge our success ... which means his (Anwar's) is actually a discordant voice.
"And (Anwar's views) do not reflect the opinions of the mainstream world about Malaysia," he told reporters after a video conference with members of the Malaysian community and students in six countries, at the prime minister's official residence, Seri Perdana, here.
Also present at the session were Najib's wife, Rosmah Mansor, and Higher Education Minister Mohamed Khaled Nordin.
Najib was asked to comment on a statement by Anwar that he considered it an insult when countries hailed Malaysia as a great Islamic country.
Anwar had made the comment in what is seen as an effort to coax Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard to apply pressure on the Barisan Nasional government to end what he alleged were corruption and electoral fraud.
The opposition leader had made the claim in an interview with Sky News Australia two days ago in an effort to garner international support after apparently having failed to obtain US backing over his sodomy accusation.
