COVID-19 in early 2020 caused the distance learning policy for students in Malaysia not to be accepted to the Community Learning Centre (CLC) in Sabah. Students of CLC in Sabah are children of Indonesian workers. In general, CLC in Sabah is divided into two categories, CLC Ladang (CLC that is located in a palm oil plantation) and CLC Non-Ladang (CLC that is not in the palm oil plantation area). The first purpose of this research is to describe the learning process of online learning. The second is classifying the impact of the online learning policy on CLC’s students. This research applied a qualitative method, researchers did observation and interviews with teachers, students, and parents of CLC Ladang and Non-Ladang. This research showed that the learning process was done by completing online learning from home. The shortage of teachers causes teaching and learning not to be optimal and this situation worsens during the lockdown and Movement Control Order (MCO) period. Those experiences impact the student’s behavior.
