Hi,
it's a dendrobium phalaenopsis hybrid and being grown practically bareroot so no need to remount unless it gets a bit big which it eventually will do.
Old canes are less important, leaves can but shouldn't really be removed, every year the plant should produce 1-2 new canes.
It is a warm growing species that can tolerate a good amount of light but maybe not the full intensity all day in singapore so find a bright warm spot but not in direct sun.
It has a bit of moss in between the roots, that should be in a moist state most of the time (moist, not wet). The roots will turn a dark green if you spray water on them and should dry to the silvery colour in the picture over the course of the day.
It looks like it was grown outdoors so maybe rain is enough to sustain orchids where you live, if not a bit of spraying with some water here or there to get the roots wet. They don't need much moisture, a few drops a day but they do need to be kept watered regularly.
In places where it does not rain so much most people pot up dendrobiums to keep them hydrated longer between watering but you might get too soggy pots doing that where you live - growing potted is different - you might prefer it if you grow indoors or in a greenhouse but you will need to pick a very airy media like lava rock, lecca or pumice. I think pure charcoal would work in your climate too. but it's probably going to be eassiest to leave it as it is and let nature carry on looking after it.
