The implementation of Teaching and Learning from Home (PdPr) has been introduced by the Ministry of Education Malaysia (MOE) as an alternative to the new norms of learning and an approach implemented to replace the conventional face-to-face education system. This study aimed to identify the impact of the PdPr implementation on Malay language teachers during the period of the Movement Control Order (MCO). The impact was divided into three main constructs namely emotional, attitude and health. A qualitative survey was conducted involving 8 Malay language teachers. These teachers were both novice and experienced teachers from primary and secondary schools. The research instrument used was an interview. Interview data were analyzed thematically according to the questions provided. The results of the study found that the implementation of PdPr had the highest negative impact on teachers' attitudes followed by emotions and health levels. The main problems that led to the change in teacher attitudes were the difficulty of establishing two-way communication during the T&L, students not submitting assignments, and parental attitudes. The emotional stress aspect of teachers during PdPr was found to be due to the Ministry's ever-changing instructions while the health aspect was due to stress and depression due to the workload during the PdPr. It was also proposed that further studies be conducted on the initiatives to overcome the problems of Malay language teachers during the implementation of PdPr.
