#2 In all seriousness, after doing some more poking around, it could be a red mutation of a binturong, which is also found on Borneo...

#4 Hmm. Looks like a jaguarundi.

Guys, look at the photo here:

It looks like a photo of the creature in the drawing, except the face is flatter.

#7 The carnivorous animal, slightly larger than a domestic cat with dark red fur and a long bushy tail,
Sounds like an escaped fox, the picture shown does not have a "Bushy Tail"

#9 Looks like a slight mutation of the red panda found in the Asian highlands, all the way south to about Dalat, Vietnam. Less fur, though, but you'd expect that for a creature adapting to more tropical climates. Be interesting to keep track of this.
