KUALA LUMPUR: The Government has no intention to introduce programmes for Rohingya refugees to help them assimilate with local customs as the move could be seen as trying to give them citizenship.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim said currently the refugees were only issued with United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHRC) cards, which are equipped with high security features.
