It's not about hudud, it's about the Sultan enforcing an Islamic legal system designed to keep him in power with little recourse for the citizens to affect changes. He will never relinquish control and under their system, there is no way for him to be forced to reform.

I still don't see the connection with their economic problems though. Sure, it's a way for the Sultan to stay in power but I see no cause and effect between hudud and the economy while most of the posts here are making it seem like there is a connection.
