We address the behaviour of the scalar field with negative mass squared in the five dimensional AdS space where the Randall-Sundrum brane-world is embedded. We point out that the tachyonic scalar allowed in the bulk space destabilizes the embedded brane-world where the cosmological constant is zero. The resolution of this instability is discussed from the viewpoint of AdS/CFT correspondence.
