This study adopted qualitative, case study research design. Ten public elementary school teachers were sampled using a purposive sampling method. Semi-structured interviews were employed to gain the insights of teachers' challenges in implementation of emergency remote teaching. The data were analysed using thematic analysis and a facilitation of Nvivo 12 programme. There were six main themes emerged on teachers' challenges, which were (1) Directing gateway; (2) Lack of skill and knowledge; (3) Unable to meet all needs; (4) Unable to engage students; (5) Lack of support from parents; and (6) Had no proper guideline. As teachers were the key persons in determining the functionality, effectiveness and development of future remote teaching, hence it was extremely crucial to listen to teachers' voices and figure out how these educators could be supported in the future to benefit the learners and communities.
