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.

You are correct. Conveyance of the message clearly to the intended person or party is important than grammer.
