It would be safe overnight. Any food can be poison including if it's sealed before a use-by, it's about a percentage which a overnight boiled egg would be lower than for the English word 'safe'. The claim is cooked eggs don't last as long as normal eggs, what is interesting is what is the percentage/graph? Boiled Easter eggs are a tradition. You don't hear about mass deaths around Easter unlike rice that's been left out at pre-wedding to wedding parties etc.

Okay, I'll bite: who's dying from wedding rice?

  Not the OP, but cooked rice if not properly stored and reheated can lead to food poisoning (Bacillus Cereus is the bug).

    Ah. I don't think of cooked rice as a common wedding-dinner dish, but I guess it must be common in parts of the world that eat a lot of rice in general (and who don't have the same default association between "rice" and "weddings" that we do in the West).

I believe part of the problem is that re-heating the rice doesn't kill off bacillus cereus so once the rice has been sat around for a couple of hours it can't easily be made safe to eat.

  The classic one for rice is bacillus cereus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacillus_cereus#Pathogenesis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacillus_cereus#Pathogenesis, specifically the emetic form). That said, while unpleasant, it very rarely kills people.
