KOTA KINABALU: Controversial Sabah Mufti Bongsu @ Aziz Jaafar said he is prepared to apologise to the Kadazandusun community if his alleged statement that Kadazandusuns was an ``invented race’’ was interpreted differently.

Breaking his silence through a brief statement, he said that it was not his intention to offend any racial and ethnic groups in Sabah as he himself was of ethnic Brunei and Dusun heritage.

In conjunction with Hari Raya Aidiladha on Tuesday, Bungsu said that it would not be wrong for him to seek forgiveness like how all the races in the country normally did.
