Using Malloc to allocate memory to STL list?

I am trying to allocate memory to stl list using malloc. I works fine with new as below:

typedef pair<int, int> iPair;  list< pair<int, int> > *adj;  adj = new list<iPair> [V];  

But throws segmentation fault if I use malloc instead of new.

adj=(list<iPair> *)malloc(sizeof(list<iPair>)*V);  

Why malloc cannot be used to allocate memory to STL containers?
