    The last plant, does the large red flower part (bract) feel furry? if so I think it is a Mussaenda erythrophylla, the leaf shape and small red flowers in the centre make me think so.
    two is definitely Rhoeo but I think unless I've missed a name change (which is likely) is Rhoeo discolour Stripe Me Pink as they are sold here.
    The first is familiar but a name won't come to mind right now.

    Number 1 sure looks like Chrysothemis pulchella. It's native to my country - it might be having low-altitude trouble in Borneo.
