According to HKFA "Song of Merry Music" was written/planned by Sap Ng-Long, but the editor who added that credit, wrote "Jeng Sap Ng Long" instead. Why?
If nobody stops me in 15 days I will merge them.

Funny, I saw the same thing but I drew a different conclusion: The id in our db is very low, #3448 (point of ref., today #67788 added), so it is likely part of the original db load years ago, not a manual editor entry. ???? is found under HKFA search, so it wasn't created out of thin air. My presumption is that once upon a time there were separate entries in HKFA. Over the years, HKFA has made corrections/updates and additions over time - just like us. Sometimes they make errors, too. I have even seen differences in credits between Eng/Chi version entries.

Just an alternative perspective.
