Pui Yee earned 416.50 points to win gold followed by compatriot Kam Ling Kar (415.50) and Japan's Yuka Kobayashi (397.80).
The 16-year-old had also won the 10m platform individual discipline and partnered Ling Kar for gold in the platform and springboard synchro events.
The Ipoh-born, together with Ling Kar, will return to Indonesia for next month's Sea Games, where diving will be held in Palembang and their performance in the Asian Age-Group will give them a boost in their first ever senior assignment.
Malaysia's second title of the day was through Chew Yiwei in the boys' springboard Group A final.
Yiwei, returning to the pool after being rested for two days for a back strain, posted a 490.45 total ahead of Kuwait's silver medallist Alharbi Rashid (467.80) and Indonesia's bronze winner Andriyan Andre (449.80)
It was the second gold medal for the back-up diver who had won the 1m springboard event.
Amateur Swimming Union of Malaysia secretary Edwin Chong was delighted with the performance of the back-up divers.
"We managed a haul of seven gold, nine silver and one bronze with a team of eight divers made up mostly of our back-up divers. All of them performed to expectations here," said Edwin in Jakarta on Sunday.
