It's not proper English. It's a word to word replacement for a Sinhala (language in Sri Lanka) phrase. In English, it doesn't mean anything, but in Sinhala it does. The Sinhala phrase is used to show a doubt/suspicion ...or to indicate something not good is going to happen. It's not correct English at all.
