When a heart is hati and not jantung


I REFER to the query, “Heart to heart”, posed by a reader in SMS your Views (The Star, Oct 9).  

As the reader rightly points out, the Kamus Dwibahasa Oxford Fajar does state that the equivalent of the English word heart in Bahasa Melayu (BM) is jantung or hati.
