Island off the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia (6)

I believe the answer is:

penang

(Other definitions for penang that I've seen before include "Nag Pen into going to Malaysia" , "Island of Malaysia" , "Asian state" , "state out East" , "Malaysian state and island" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
