The second one looks like a juvenile Strombus but I can't tell what species it is.  It is photographed at a slightly odd angle.  A straight-on ventral view showing more of the spire and apex might be helpful.  I believe #5 is Nerita exuvia  L., 1758.  <span class="petit">--Last edited by Paul Monfils on 2009-10-18 22:00:57 --</span>

Agree with Paul on #5. I've got couple of those from the Sapi Island, which is just a couple kilometers away from Mamutik.

I have similar shells like #1 and also from Borneo, which I identified as Vasticardium compunctum (Kira, 1959), but I am not sure of my ID.
This is one of my shells:
