Cockles what? #GE2020

In a victory speech on securing the electoral ward of Sengkang GRC in the 2020 General Election, Dr Jamus Lim used the phrase "warm the cockles of our heart..." For a moment there I thought he was being vulgar, but no. The origin of the phrase, according to John Frith, is

"The cockles of the heart are its ventricles, named by some in Latin as "cochleae cordis", from "cochlea" (snail), alluding to their shape. The saying means to warm and gratify one's deepest feelings" (What are the "cockles of your heart")

With due respect, many in the PAP will not have been able to come up with this phrase. Goes to show that we need more divergent voices.

Truly a passionate man. Well, at least half of the residents in Sengkang GRC feel the same. Congratulations!
