PETALING JAYA: A former manager at a famous fast-food chain never imagined she would return to work after leaving the industry more than five years earlier.

Now employed as an assistant manager at a local restaurant, Analynn May, 36, said she had to leave her previous job due to medical reasons and to care for her children.
