This paper is concerned with the stabilization problem of singular fractional order systems with order $alphain(0,2)$. In addition to the sufficient and necessary condition for observer based control, a sufficient and necessary condition for output feedback control is proposed by adopting matrix variable decoupling technique. The developed results are more general and efficient than the existing works, especially for the output feedback case. Finally, two illustrative examples are given to verify the effectiveness and potential of the proposed approaches.
