Oracle plans to invest more than $6.5 billion to set up its first public cloud region in Malaysia, the company said on Wednesday, the latest major investment by a global tech firm into the Southeast Asian country.

However, it wasn't the first time the Democratic presidential candidate had used a four-letter word in public, and it won't be the last.
