editOn 29 November 2024, Azmi, as the Telok Ayer Tawar MLA, unexpectedly called for a 'motion' to increase the salaries of the Penang MLAs during the Penang State Legislative Assembly meeting. He opened a news article in Chinese on his phone, pointing out that Negeri Sembilan MLAs were getting a salary increase. Hence, he hoped for the Penang MLAs to follow suit. Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow added that the issue did not need a reply as he had already addressed it during the state Budget 2025 presentation in the assembly. Speaker Law Choo Kiang responded by saying that the assembly had already heard the calls for a salary increase of the MLAs and would let the assembly explore the matter.[1]
