KUALA LUMPUR: Park Joo-bong is alarmed at the declining standard of the Malaysian and Indonesian shuttlers.

"It is certainly not good. Malaysia and Indonesia used to be powerhouses in this sport. I hope they will get their acts together and bounce back," said the former Olympic Games champion, who is currently the head coach of Japan.
