Mahathir as the longest serving Prime Minister of Malaysia was criticised to be a leader who promotes the betterment of the majority community that he represented and marginalised the Indians.

This study has contributed to enhance understanding about the leadership communication concept from the Indians’ perspective. It provides some insights on the Indian’s cultural conceptions of inter-ethnic leadership communication.
