KUL: The Sweatiest City in the World

Great gala event, including a big award win by Hamilton Airport, but whose idea was it to hold it outside? This is my guess at how the event planning committee meeting went:

"OK, so where should we have the gala?"
"How bout the Mandarin Oriental?"
"Nah, that's boring. We need something different."
(Joking): "We could do it outside, ha ha."
"Yes!"
"Huh?"
"I like it! Let's do it."
"But it's Kuala Lumpur..."
"And?"
"Well, it's 32 degrees, 100% humidity, and it rains, every day. Seriously, every day... 365 days a year. Same weather."
"Well, I have a good feeling."
"Feeling? What kind of feeling?"
"I think it'll be cooler that day. Maybe low 20s."
"But it won't be. It'll be 32 and humid. Really humid. People will be very uncomfortable, and sweaty."
"No, I disagree. Let's do it. We're having the event outside and everyone will love it."
"But..."
"Oh! And let's make it smart business attire. Won't it be nice to see all the men in jackets?"
"But..."
"And we'll give the people scarves that night to keep them warm."
"But And so on...

It was hot, it was humid, and for some reason, it was outside. My shirt was drenched by the end of the night, as were the shirts of many others. But it was a nice taste (literally and figuratively) of Malaysia.

And now, since it's almost 1AM and I woke up at 4 AM, it's time for bed. Zzzzz...
