“Thank you God, for these 33 years!” said Marcus on his personal Instagram.
“Today, at the age of 33, I decided to quit my professional badminton career. It doesn’t feel like it’s been 25 years since I’ve been training & competing on the field. I thank the Lord Jesus who has worked in my life, without Him I may not be there like I am now,” he added.
Marcus achieved great success when paired with Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo. At the end of his career, Marcus often suffered injuries.
