Now this is an interesting case.
House sparrows do not fall in any lists of the WCA 2010. By virtue of that, they are within the definition of 'animal' in the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) 2015. https://twitter.com/malaymail/status/1318430754578198529

There are provisions under the AWA for poisoning (specifically Section 31).
If found guilty, the farmer is liable to a fine no less than RM 20k, not more than RM 100k or imprisonment for no more than 3 years
However, I suspect mala fide must be proven by PP.

P.S. They are an alien species, probably wouldn't call them invasive yet poisoning without authority should not be allowed. It would be a dangerous precedent for animals and wildlife in Malaysia.
