The islanders, who secured promotion to the Premier League a week ago, added the league title with four matches to spare.
A late strike by Khairul Anwar, just his second league goal this campaign, landed Penang the league crown.
The Panthers were rampant throughout this season under the tutelage of former star player Merzagua Aberrazak, who now has to leave the state to obtain his official A-level coaching license from an African Confederation (CAF) affiliate country.
Penang will receive the FAM Cup trophy at the City Stadium before their league tie against Kedah Malays on June 16.
In the other FAM Cup matches, Kuantan FA and Land Forces kept up the pressure on second-placed PBAPP FC for the second promotion berth after securing convincing wins.
Land Forces trounced Sabah’s Chebagoo FC 6-0 to move up to 26 points, just three points behind PBAPP.
Kuantan FA lie three points behind following their 4-2 triumph over Malacca.
Kelantan club side Tumpat FA also kept their faint hopes alive with a hard-earned 1-0 win over basement team YBU FC in Ipoh.
