About MAA (Malaysian American Association of New York):
The Malaysia Association of America (MAA) will be celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.
During it's 28th anniversary celebration 2 years ago, assemblywoman Grace Meng of the New York State Assembly said MAA had helped to establish wider friendship and understanding between Malaysian Americans and other native and foreign-born Americans.
“As the only Asian-American serving in the New York State Legislature, I am very encouraged by MAA’s work. MAA’s ongoing efforts to provide comfort and assistance to fellow immigrants who are in need of support are to be recognised,” she said in a souvenir book.
John C. Liu, comptroller of the City of New York, said in his speech at the event that throughout the years, MAA had done outstanding work to promote friendship and strengthen economic and cultural relations between Malaysia and the city of New York.
The commitment to excellence, service and leadership had made a positive impact on all communities, he said.
He presented a plaque of appreciation to MAA chairman Kim Bong and MAA advisor Salahuddin Ariffin, who is also the vice-president of Tourism Malaysia New York.
Malaysia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Datuk Hussein Haniff, in his speech, said MAA also had a role to play in promoting Malaysia as a country that could offer much to many people.
“We, together, should continue the good work and repeat the many achievements of MAA,” he said. — Bernama

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Bronx is a borough of New York City, coterminous with Bronx County, in the U.S. state of New York, the third-most densely populated county in the United States. It is south of Westchester County; northeast and east of Manhattan, across the Harlem River; and north of Queens, across the East River.
The Bronx has a land area of 42 square miles (109 km2) and a population of 1,471,160 in 2017. Of the five boroughs, it has the fourth-largest area, fourth-highest population, and third-highest population density. It is the only borough predominantly on the U.S. mainland.
The Bronx is divided by the Bronx River into a hillier section in the west, and a flatter eastern section. East and west street names are divided by Jerome Avenue. The West Bronx was annexed to New York City in 1874, and the areas east of the Bronx River in 1895. Bronx County was separated from New York County in 1914. About a quarter of the Bronx's area is open space, including Woodlawn Cemetery, Van Cortlandt Park, Pelham Bay Park, the New York Botanical Garden, and the Bronx Zoo in the borough's north and center. These open spaces are situated primarily on land deliberately reserved in the late 19th century as urban development progressed north and east from Manhattan.
The name Bronx originated with Swedish-born Jonas Bronck, who established the first settlement in the area as part of the New Netherland colony in 1639. The native Lenape were displaced after 1643 by settlers. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the Bronx received many immigrant and migrant groups as it was transformed into an urban community, first from various European countries (particularly Ireland, Germany, Italy and Eastern Europe) and later from the Caribbean region (particularly Puerto Rico, Hai ...
