English blues in PMR paper

MY niece recently sat for her PMR examination and showed me some of the grammatical errors found in her Mathematics examination paper.
I was shocked to discover gross errors in the questions; not in terms of content but grammatical errors that would leave any speaker of the language in horror if they were to see it.
The errors were caused by direct translation of the questions from Bahasa Malaysia.
The examination syndicate should have had someone competent in the language to proofread the paper.
Although it is embarassing to have it highlighted by our students that teachers are not competent in the language used to teach Maths, the blame should not lie entirely with these teachers.
Care should have been taken in the setting of the questions.
It is not acceptable to say that the examination syndicate overlooked this matter.
