Joo-bong backs Frost to revive Malaysian badminton


"I believe he (Morten) can help Malaysia become one of the strong contenders in world badminton again." - Park Joo-bong.

KUCHING: Japan chief coach Park Joo-bong expects the presence of Morten Frost Hansen of Denmark to trigger a revival in the Malaysian badminton scene, which has heavily relied on Lee Chong Wei for far too long.

Frost will officially start work as the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) technical director in March.
