Received a plastic bag full of these small red flowers from my grandfather, he plucked them from a bush-like plant outside his house. We are located in Malaysia

It resembles an ixora I am familiar with, but the flower petals I am accustomed to are more round/ less pointed.

We had an ixora hedge in front of our house when I was a child. We would suck the nectar out of the flowers. Hummingbirds love them.

Why did he deflower the plant?

if they are fresh enough, you can suck nectar out of them with your mouth, from the stem end, not the flower end
used to love these when i was a kid, but nowadays you should be careful and first confirm the source of the flowers to make sure there is no pesticide

It’s santan. As a kid , we used get the long strip inside the flower. It tastes a little sweet. Some kids will stitch those together to form necklace etc
