The event was high stakes. The temperature <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeanddate.com\/weather\/singapore\/singapore\/historic\">reached<\/a> 91 degrees. There were press-scrums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But experts warned that the USB powered fans could create a virtual skull and bones for anyone who plugged them in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Media goody bag: Mini USB fan, hand-held fan with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TrumpKim?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TrumpKim<\/a> on either side to blow around all the hot air&#8230;. and a fun guide to Sentosa.

The group did not need a long time to test the results. It took under six minutes for the first person to plug in the USB drives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This tweet sort of went viral.
