The voluntary welfare orgnizations in Singapore identified as charityies at the beginning of establishment were set up after the outbreak of world warⅡand their aid was designed to meet the social dislocation caused by war and protect the war victims and the poors.After the founding of Singapore ,the voluntary welfare orgnizations played an important role in the security of wealth gap,children education,disabilities care and aged tendency of population which were brought by the rapid development of Singapore when the People's Action Party led by Lee Kuan Yew rejected welfarism.As an altermative to welfare state,the voluntary welfare orgnization and government start to cooperate since 1980s. Under the government'arrangement, the voluntary sectors such as the Ministry of Community Development and Sports, the National Council of Social Service and the Ministry of Community Development established one after another. They undertook major responsibility for the management and delivery of welfare services on a day-to-day basis through a wide range of voluntary welfare organizations on the one hand and managed and arranged the source which was provided to the voluntary welfare orgnizations by state budget and the founding accumulated through the way of voluntary on the other hand.Therfore, the voluntary sector was a bridge of management and control, communicaton and coopration between government and the voluntary welfare orgnizaton. In order to expand the range of management on the voluntary welfare orgnization's standard of delivery and implement of welfare services,the government more closely wedded the voluntary sector to state bureaucracy.Today,the model of management by supervision between state and the voluntary welfare orgnzation becomes more maturer.The government is main provider of social welfare source, the voluntary sector is the manager of the voluntary welfare orgnizations,the voluntary welfare organization is deliverer and implementor of social welfare, and the structure of control and response among the there parts bases on providing and obtaining the source.Totally, the effect caused through the voluntary welfare orgnization'work model on the aspect of providng personal social service and basic welfare delivery and reducing the passive result of the widening disparities of wealth in the process of economic and socal transformation is obvious, and the power of voluntary welfare orgnizations to build an affluent and prosperous society is positive.
