You will probably hear different opinions on this, but really it should not be kept - more than a day. If you want to keep it for making salad then make sure you cool it and refridgerated it properly.
Best not to re-heat though, but if you do make sure you reheat so PIPING hot, ok
Although I`m sure I have never had food poisoning from rice, it is apparently a very high risk for bad bacteria growing - I had to take an exam run my the British food safety and handling authourity years ago and rice was something they made a point of.
eta - because of the associated risk I never ate rice when I pregnant unless it was freshly boiled. So no re heating or rice salad or sushi etc
